There is a bench not too far up next to a little waterfall. There were a few older people sitting there eating. It is right next to a bridge- they can hang out on the bridge too that overlooks the stream- quite nice and is shaded. They may be there a bit waiting for y’all though. I would not recommend the entire hike for a 70 year old unless they were in great shape.

No permit required. If you are just going down to Vikingsholm and then to the Eagle Falls viewpoint you don't need to do any paperwork. If you are going up the mountain from the parking lot then you are supposed to fill out a day hike permit if you are going more than a few hundred yards. It's free. You may have to pay for parking, but there are some free spaces along Hwy 89

Hi, I believe the Eagle Falls parking lot had envelopes to pay for the parking on your own with no attendant. I'm not sure of the cost which means it wasn't very much. Maybe $5. If you can find a spot in the small lot it is worth the price to support the area for the views you get. When we were there many cars parked along the road outside of the parking area because there is far more interest than the lot can handle. Enjoy.

We were there last November. Trail and parking lot were both accessible, but bathrooms were locked for the season. I think the trail beyond the falls, to Eagle Lake, was closed, but Eagle Falls was open.

The forms are there, just fill it out, put it in the box and go enjoy!

Yes! We just went this past weekend. We definitely recommend getting there early as parking fills up fast.

yes dog are allowed. It is a very popular trail so make sure to bring a leash.
