This beautiful forest-lined trail runs from the public dock at Big Bay north to Eagle Lake (and onward toward Basset Cove), and is a peaceful, relatively easy hike through coastal woodland. Along the way, you’ll likely see plenty of bald eagles and other wildlife, and Eagle Lake itself includes a small swimming float, a nice bonus if you want to cool off on a warm day. Because the island is mostly privately owned and access is limited, this public-access trail is one of the few ways for visitors to explore the island’s natural shoreline and forested interior.
