Black Eagle Island got its name from an eagle who for years made her nest on an island below Black Eagle Falls.The Indians of Fort Mandan had told Lewis and Clark about the bird.Lewis wrote of what he saw in his journal on June 14,1805."In this island on a cottonwood tree an eagle has placed her nest;a more inaccessable spot I believe she could not have found;for neither man nor beast dare pass those gulphs which seperate her little domain from the shores."
FROM THE VISITOR LOT
WALK A TRAIL TO A BRIDGE
CROSS OVER AND STOP
AND LOOK AT THE RIDGE
NOW START AGAIN AND WALK
UNTIL YOU PASS A BIG TURBINE
TAKE A LEFT ON THE GRAVEL
THEN WALK A STRAIGHT LINE
FOLLOW THE RIVER
PLEASE LOOK AT THE VIEW
FROM THIS SIDE YOU KNOW
ITS ALL VERY NEW
YOU WILL FIND BENCHES
TO TAKE A SLIGHT REST
ITS A REALLY SHORT WALK
NOT MUCH OF A TEST
AS A MATTER OF FACT
ITS REALLY QUITE EASY
FOR A LETTERBOX SHOOTER
I SAW AN OLD LADY
ON A HANDICAP SCOOTER
NOW GO TO THE END
OF THE ISLANDS TIP
ITS REALLY QUITE NEAT
LIKE THE BOW OF A SHIP
NOW GO RIGHT AND DOWN
AROUND THE RAIL FENCE
YOU SHOULD TURN AROUND NOW
IF YOU HAD ANY SENSE
FOLLOW THE TRAIL TO A DANGER SIGN
LOOK FOR SOME WRITING
THAT THE CHICKENMAN SIGNED
INTO A CLEFT,ON THE WALL
AND SECRETED IN SOME ROCKS
YOU WILL FIND WHAT YOU SEEK
