Eagle Lake

Eagle Lake is the largest waterbody wholly within Acadia National Park. The lake is a great spot to look for birds and other wildlife, and offers panoramic views of the changing colors in autumn. Visitors can paddle the lake, but swimming, paddleboarding, and oarboarding are not allowed as the lake provides drinking water for Bar Harbor. Motor boats are permitted with a maximum speed of 10 mph. The lake is surrounded by a popular carriage road route and is home to various fish species. Loons, ducks, and other waterfowl can be seen feeding on the lake or nesting at the edges
