Eagle Falls

Beautiful scenery, so peaceful and blue. From lower Eagle Falls to upper Eagle falls, a nice hike. Parking is limited and $5 at trail. Porty potty at the trailhead. There are little scenic stops on the road there. You won’t be disappointed at the views.

The Eagle Falls hike is moderately difficult, though not particularly strenuous, and is a popular, family-friendly trail. While short, the hike includes steep, rocky sections and stone steps, making it tiring for some (like me). Taken slow, the beautiful views of the waterfall and Emerald Bay make the effort totally worthwhile.

GO EARLY!!!!! Parking is a nightmare later on. There are very few spots in the lot so you end up having to park on the road and walking back down to it. Be careful parking because you will likely have to park right up to the rock face. The falls are no big deal at least it wasn't when we were there but the real gem is to make the 30 minute hike to the lake. Gorgeous place to hang out. It gets crowded but is enjoyable. There is a rope swing along the right side of the lake. Very picturesque- reminds me of the Canadian Rockies.

The parking is the worse part about this hike. There are few spots available at the trailhead. We parked about a mile up the road In a larger parking spot which was nice the walk down to the trail was interesting. The was a fun hike to eagle falls. The initial hike to the falls is quick and easy to get to, there is a small pond before the falls. The longer hike is a longer hike but it was a great workout with beautiful views. When you finally get to the lake it’s an amazing few with clear blue water and only a few people make the climb all the way to the lake so it’s was nice and quite up there to soak up the beauty of nature.

A short hike to the fall and another 30 minutes will take you to the lake. Amazing views throughout. It’s not too challenging to the lake and I recommend the hike. Parking is limited, but if you wait, someone is bound to leave.

The hike to the falls from the parking lot is relatively short, but it’s almost all stone steps. About halfway there’s a nice level patch with a good view of the falls and a bench to take a break. The bridge over the falls offers a beautiful view down the valley with the lake in the distance. Go early. Parking fills up FAST.

Definitely hard parking during peak season so be mindful! Easy 10-15 minute walk to falls, lots of stairs! East- Moderate 1-2 hour hike to lake, but worth for the view!

It is a short and easy/moderate hike up from the trailhead to the falls! We really enjoyed it especially because it started snowing! It was gorgeous!!! I would suggest doing the hike because you feel you are actually out in the nature along with enjoyed tall pines tress and sneak peak of Lake Tahoe/Emerald Bay here and there
