Are you looking for a fun family outing during the holiday season? How about taking a trip to Northern Idaho's Lake Coeur d’Alene to view the bald eagles during #EagleWatch Week December 27 - 31?
Representatives from BLM and Idaho Department of Fish and Game will be on-site at Mineral Ridge Boat Launch parking lot and trailhead parking area from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. each day. These eagle “ambassadors” will answer visitor questions about eagles and assist visitors with high-powered spotting scopes.
Each year hundreds of viewers travel to the Mineral Ridge area for this event, so please be extra cautious when driving, parking or walking along State Highway 97. The travel way is not restricted and pedestrians should be respectful of drivers by not walking in the center of the road or using the shoulder to scout for eagles. In the rare case of severe weather, especially high wind events which prevent setting up equipment, the BLM has set up an “Eagle Watch Hotline.” An updated status will be available by calling (208) 769-5048 after 9:00 a.m. each day. We hope to see you soon for this fun, annual event!
