Eagle Lake to Soldier Pond
This trip is about 9.5 miles and traverses Eagle Lake and part of
the Fish River. Start the trip at the Eagle Lake public boat landing,
MAG 67 E5, located on Old Main St.
Travel down the lake in a northerly direction and you come to the
outlet of the lake. This will be marked by a series of log driving
piers that still remain today. At this point, you will now be in the
Fish River.
The Fish River is known locally as an excellent fi shery and can
provide for some pretty entertaining fi shing. The Fish River, much
like the Eagle Lake thoroughfare, is a valuable natural resource to
the fi sh and game and oftentimes you may see moose, deer or
even a soaring bald eagle overhead. You will follow the Fish River
for 3.8 miles until you arrive in the village of Soldier Pond, MAG
67 D5. Upon going under the bridge, the public take out will
be immediately on your right. This will be the conclusion of an
amazing trip!
The trip is all fl atwater. Use caution on Eagle Lake if wind is in the
forecast as this lake can get rough with a north or south wind.
