General Description

Set in the scenic Moreno Valley and surrounded by two of the state\\''s highest peaks, Baldy Mountain and Wheeler Peek, this 2,400-acre lake is known for its kokanee salmon and rainbow trout fishing.

At 8,300 feet in elevation, the park offers a cool retreat from the summer heat for fisherman, boaters and wildlife enthusiasts. An abundance of animals�elk, bear, mule deer, eagles, turkeys and other birds�inhabit the area, making Eagle Nest Lake an ideal location for wildlife viewing. In the winter, ice fishing and snowmobiling are popular sports when ice thickness permits. Snowmobiling is limited to the lake surface.
