Access Three Eagle Lake across a short portage of perhaps 20 rods from Jordan Lake. This portage, while not maintained by the U.S. Forest Service, gets enough use to make it easy to follow. The portage can be found when approaching the middle bay on the north side of Jordan Lake. There is a nice sand beach to land your canoe. Some rock outcroppings are just to the right of the sandy beach.
There are definitely northern pike swimming in Three Eagle Lake. They could be seen swimming in the shallows. Much of the lake has a sandy bottom. Some old literature indicates that Three Eagle Lake once had a maintained campsite. The old campsite was located in the southwest corner of the lake, on the west shoreline. Other places to camp can easily be found on this lake. You must have a PMA permit to camp here. Given its easy access from Jordan Lake, consider just camping on that lake.

You are crossing the last part of Jordan Lake, heading toward the sandy beach landing. After you land the canoe, bushwhack from the pleasant beach through the woods to Three Eagle Lake. The whole bushwhack is maybe 20 rods.
Canoe pulled up on the sandy beach on Jordan Lake where portage begins into Three Eagle Lake. Canoe pullouts don't get much nicer than this!
