These connections and associated campsites are envisioned to create a backpacking loop ideal for one to three nights of backpacking. Dozens of miles of other trail projects are under development as part of this opportunity, likely including linkages at the Little Moose Public Lands tying together existing day hikes including Big and Little Moose Mountains, a number of scenic ponds, and other features. The Eagle Rock Trail was one of the first trails developed through a trails easement and grant process funded by Weyerhaeuser as part of the Moosehead Lake Region Concept Plan. Overall, the trail undulates on its route to the two major vista points. There is not a lot of continual steep climbing, though there are some steadily climbing sections. The trail surface is natural, with some rocks and roots.
Settings encountered include a variety ranging from working forest to areas with little evidence of harvesting and mature forest stands. A somewhat less dramatic but very scenic west-facing overlook (Raven Ledge) lies approximately a mile closer to the trailhead than Eagle Rock and can serve as a destination in itself. It soon enters onto property owned by Weyerhaeuser trail segments on private land are protected in perpetuity by a trails easement and most of the surrounding lands are part of a 363,000-acre conservation easement.Įagle Rock, the trail namesake and destination, is a remarkable rock outcropping on the far western tip of Big Moose Mountain.
