Located in northeast St. Louis County, roughly eight miles east of the city of Tower, lies the quartet of Eagles Nest lakes, which combined provide more than 1,900 acres of fishable water.
Lakes 1 and 2 are connected, and 3 sits by itself with an access through Bear Head Lake State Park so you need a valid park sticker to use it. Eagles Nest 4 has no access and is considered private.
