The Eagle Mountain Unit lies adjacent to the BWCAW and southeast of
Brule Lake. The area contains the Eagle Mountain trail, a popular
and scenic hiking trail that accesses Eagle Mountain, Minnesota’s
highest point.
Near Tomash Lake, the area contains some upland cedar, a forest type
which is relatively rare in the Superior National Forest.
Blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are abundant. The area
also serves as a buffer to the Cascade River, as well as part of
Whale Creek.
