Eagle Lake Public Land is a mostly forested area often used for logging with it's gently rolling hills and tall trees. The area is a total of 23,000 acres encompassing most of Eagle Lake. One side of the public land is also stopped by Square Lake, making it the connection between the two bodies of water for visitors wanting to lake hop.

Being close to Canada, it is interesting to note that almost half of the town also speaks French.
