Eagle Mountain, Mountain summit in Cook County, Minnesota, US
Eagle Mountain rises to 701 meters and is the highest natural point in Minnesota. The mountain features forest trails that wind through rocky terrain and wooden plank walkways crossing lowland bogs.
The mountain received recognition as Minnesota's highest natural elevation point. This status established it as a significant geographical landmark in the region.
The mountain sits within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, a region important to Minnesota's outdoor recreation and nature conservation. Hikers and paddlers regularly use this area to experience the natural landscape.
Visitors should obtain a self-issued permit at the trailhead before starting and prepare for a 5.6-kilometer hike. The trek takes roughly two and a half hours and requires sturdy footwear and adequate water.
