Lake Metigoshe State Park is nestled in the scenic Turtle Mountains on the shores of Lake Metigoshe. The name “Metigoshe” is derived from the Chippewa language meaning “clear water lake surrounded by oaks.” The rolling hills, aspen forests and small lakes attract nature lovers to the area. On this trail, keep an eye out for a variety of wildlife, including moose, white-tailed deer, ruffed grouse, and loons as you hike through the forests and across wetlands. Utilizing several other trails to connect to the Eagle Loop Trail, there are several spectacular vistas of the lake. Eagle Loop circles a peninsula on the northeast side of Lake Metigoshe.
