Camping at Eagle Lakes?

[Pariah]

Anyone camped at Eagle Lakes? My brother says there is a Boy Scout campground out there he's camped at in the fall, but what about camping there now?

TTT!

Has anyone camped in the Eagle Lakes area outside of Truckee? Certainly someone here has been wheeling out there. Care to share?

What's the camping like out there? Can you use the boy scout campground or do you have to just pick a spot? And could you get a 12' aluminum boat out there on a trailer?

The camping is pretty rough, most of the lake you need to go on foot.

I think you could get a boat there pretty easy, there are some clearence

issues boulders and such, I considered towing one in with a quad.

As far as launching it well the closest spot would still require hauling the

boat down a 10-12' bank as for the fishing you need a boat, the shores are all

lilly paded up about 20' out.

Yeah, I found a write up with pics of the trail. Looks like a fun trail but definitely would have to leave behind the boat. Mabey I'll look into renting kayaks.
