Where can you see bald eagles this close?

Each day, from Monday to Friday, you will be guided to a blind that is guaranteed to produce many excellent, up close and personal photographic opportunities of bald eagles as they feed and interact. Return to The Lodge for a delicious dinner and discussion about the day.

After breakfast on Saturday, you will be transported to Thunder Bay.
