Hasn't voted | If you wish to overnight at one of the two campsites near Eagle Mtn, you must get a BWCA permit at the Forest Service office in Tofte. | |

Voted 8/10 | At the T you need to make a right turn. There is a wooden sign pointing right stating the trail head is 4 miles down the road. | |

Hasn't voted | The route is incorrect. Take a RIGHT on Forest Road 170 (also called The Grade). Also, at some point FR 170 was renamed from FR 153. Newer maps of Superior National Forest all show FR 170, so that needs to be corrected on this page's route map. Nowhere on the actual road does it reference 153, only 170. | |

| Redwic | County Road 4... | |
Hasn't voted | Heading north from Lutsen, after turning onto County Road 4, don't be alarmed if some road signs and addresses start referencing "Caribou Trail (Road)". It is the same road for that stretch. | |

| Alpinist | None of the current photos are of Eagle Mtn | |
Voted 9/10 | I hate to embarrass anyone but ALL of the photos of Eagle Mountain on SP are not of Eagle Mtn. The photos posted here are actually of the hill to the right of Eagle Mtn, which is what is visible when you first reach Whale Lake. (I confess that I also thought it was Eagle Mtn when I first reached the lake, based on the photos that I previously saw.) Most photos on the web are incorrect as well but this guy got it right. Compare the above picture with the one below from SP. If you were to splice the 2 photos together, the one above of Eagle Mtn would appear to the left of the one below. ![]() Now compare that with the topo map. There are 2 prominant hills and Eagle Mtn is the one on the left as viewed from Whale Lake. Notice that in all of the incorrect photos, there is no hill to the right of the summit? | |

| phillinley | Yep | |
Hasn't voted | sorry for the way late reply on this, I didn't see the comment til today. Checking out the topo and then the satellite images, yeah alpinist, you're right. I'm going to have to drive back up there this winter and snap another picture of it to get a photo of the actual mountain up on Eagle's page. I'll try and get a panorama shot from the east side of the lake of all three bumps as well. | |

| Alpinist | Phtoto of Eagle Mtn has been added | |
Voted 9/10 | FYI - SP member idzaharia uploaded a photo of Eagle Mtn. You should make that the signature photo now since the other one is incorrect. | |
