Public Viewing Spots Lake Fork The most popular spots for eagle watching from land around Lake Fork are: Site A) The Dam at the south east end of the lake. Eagles roost south of the dam along Lake Fork Creek, so very early morning and again at dusk is a prime time to watch eagles passing from the lake, heading to their evening roost. Often there will be feeding activities going on in the area of the dam. Watch for eagles perched in trees along the river and lake during the day. An active nest has been discovered in this area, it sits several hundred yards into the trees opposite the dam, just southwest of Lake Fork Creek. Site B) From the Highway 154 bridge and in Sabine River Authority park on the north end of the bridge provides easy access to see vast areas of the lake where the eagles can be present.
