Eagle Run Viewing Shelter
Each year Squamish plays host to one of the largest congregations of wintering bald eagles in North America. The Squamish River watershed provides not only food but also security, in the form of roosting trees, allowing for spectacular eagle viewing opportunities. Peak bald eagle viewing is from mid-December to mid-January.
Prime sightings of these great sentinels of the coastal forest usually happen at Eagle Run dike and viewing shelter opposite the BC Easter Seals camp on Government Road, directly across the Squamish River overlooking Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park. Here you’ll find an interpretive display of our eagles and the lifecycle of the chum salmon on which they feed.
Eagle Run dike is an accessible site: there is a ramp at the south end. In the winter months, snow on the ramp is cleared by volunteers when possible, but access to the site is more limited.
