Everyone knows Chimney Rock, especially the "attraction". The outlying areas of the state park, across the gorge don't get much attention. Eagle Rock has parking for about 8 vehicles and is a climbing destination. It is at the end of a curvy, dead end road. The final 1/4 mile is a very narrow gravel road with large gravel.
Eagle Rock is less than a 1/2 mile walk. You can continue on the Weed Patch Mountain Trail and end up in Lake Lure (the town not the lake).
Bleeding Hearts are found at the rock.
Looking toward Mitchell
It is almost a 360 degree view. Today was a great day for the viewpoint. We were the only ones here. There are two very large rocks at the vantage point. We scrambled around a bit but climbing the rocks was a bit out of our league so we settled for this view.
Sorta looks like an eagle!
