Snowmobile Trails:
The Sno-Eagles Trails run across the lake. The Trail system consists of over 100 miles of groomed trails that connect to everywhere you could think of going on a sled in Northern WI or Michigan. Trails are kept in great condition and are a major calling card of the area.
ATV Trails:
The Landover ATV Club Trails run along the north side of the lake. It is a vast network of ATV trails that connect Eagle River to Upper Michigan. There are a variety of riding options ranging from paved roads to trails through the national forests. By far the largest ATV trail network in Vilas County.

This is a summary based on available information.

Chain‑wide resources note that Eagle Lake and its neighbors hold strong populations of walleye, muskie, panfish, bass, and pike, with muskie and walleye especially prominent across the system. Productive spots include deep weed edges, bars, and narrows where water moves between Eagle and adjoining lakes, particularly around early and late in the day when gamefish slide shallower to feed. Mid‑summer, when boat traffic is highest, fish often shift to deeper weeds and off‑structure, so anglers do best probing 8–12 foot edges with live bait rigs, jigs, and crankbaits while saving mid‑day for cruising and swimming. For cabin owners, Eagle offers a dependable mix of “fun lake” recreation and serious angling opportunities without giving up quick access to town services and guides.

I had AI give me the coordinates for the launches I had on file. They are not super accurate, but should give a rough idea of where you can find the landings. If no coordinates were available at all I didn't link to the map.

Eagle Lake public landing (east shore)
View on Map
Primary public launch on the east side of Eagle Lake near Eagle Waters area, with a concrete ramp and adjacent parking. Suitable for fishing boats and pontoons; can be busy on summer weekends and during peak chain traffic, so early arrival helps for trailer parking.
Eagle River Chain town launch (river access)
View on Map
Town launch on the Eagle River section just below the dam, often used as an alternative access into the lower reaches of the Eagle River Chain. Paved ramp with modest parking; convenient for smaller rigs and anglers targeting the river and nearby chain sections, but can feel tight for larger groups.
