The benefit of hiking the Eagle Trail is the differences in surroundings you find along the way. You go through wooded areas, along the lakeshore, through rock formations. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful and the trail is well laid out. Bring decent shoes to hike in as you need firm footing in certain areas. This is a wonderfully scenic hike... More

We have two dogs a Labradoodle and a King Charles and both are exhausted at the end of this trail. It is challenging but not impossible and the views are breathtaking.

The two mile Eagle Trail is marked difficult, but it's only the area at the craggy dolomite rocks that seems difficult. The trail has a variety of views -- lakeshore, the town of Ephraim, forest, and rock cliffs and sea caves. Many photo ops can be found along the way. The trailhead is at Eagle Terrace near the tower.

Also along the beach and in the forest. We found it comfortable to walk and I was six months pregnant. But we met travelers who warned us that it is difficult to track So it is worth considering the different views about the track. We strongly recommend

There are a lot of these towers in parks, but none have a view like this, particularly if fall colors are your thing, you can climb 250 feet to the top and have a great view. It;s inside Peninsula State Park so you will need a vehicle pass

The Eagle Trail winds through wonderful forest, up and down rocky outcroppings, and along the beautiful Bay. You have to step over tree roots and rocks, but it's not a difficult hike, and it's well worth the effort.

This is a great hike in Peninsula State Park, with great views, and challenging sections as well. The whole trail isn't challenging, but there are parts that are harder than others. You won't need a rope and climbing gear, but you will not want to make the hike in sandals. There are some really neat caves to explore on the... More

Our family of five (including children aged 15, 12, and 8) really enjoyed this hike. It winds along between the water and the cliffs and it is very scenic. We went in the late afternoon and did not see any other people. I was concerned because it was considered a difficult trail, but the only difficult thing about it was... More

A fairly adventurous hike in Peninsula State Park. Takes about an hour and a half to do the loop. Lots of different terrain within the hike. Starts just up the road from the Eagle Tower and heads down towards the water. Winds through a dense forest and along the base of cliff walls and small caves. Bring a camera -... More

If in Door County make sure you go to Peninsula Park, get a day pass, there is a trail and tower to climb for views of the bay
