    Hiking

    This pretty, 50-foot waterfall is just a 5-minute walk or so from the Eagle Lake Trailhead — but as you might imagine, that gets pretty busy. If that trailhead is full, you can often find parking at the Vikingsholm Trailhead a little farther up the road.

    Running

    Upper Eagle Falls is a 50-foot waterfall in Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit. The falls are only a short distance to a parking lot, so it is very accessible. This also means that during high season, the falls can be very busy.

    Hiking

    During our hike in mid October, we couldn’t see the waterfall as it was almost dried up. Considering the height of the bridge it must look stunning after the raining season.
