If you are thinking of visiting Eagles Mere and looking for the full Eagles Mere Experience why not consider becoming a temporary member. To qualify you must rent a home in the borough or stay in an Eagles Mere hotel. Membership allows you full use of the Eagles Mere Associations facilities. As a member you will be able to set up your beach chairs at the beach and take a swim in the refreshing pristine natural waters of the lake. While at the beach you can also rent sailboats, kayaks, canoes, paddle board, etc and enjoy your time boating around the lake. If you are looking for a little exercise after enjoying a great lunch at the Beach Shop, you can head out on a 2 mile walk around the lake on the Laurel path with stops at Gypsie's Landing, Lovers Leap, the Crestmont dock, Edge Mere and many other points of interests along the way. When you get back to the beach and want another vantage point consider hopping on the Hardly Able for a loop around the lake. She is a canopied WW1 wooden troop launch ship that is over 100 years old! Some people call Eagles Mere a "family camp" With all day activities for kids organized by the Eagles Mere Athletic Association or story time at the Eagle Mere Conservancy's log cabin there is no doubt a week spent on the mountain will lead to family memories that will last a lifetime.
