Celebrating generations of lake life on Bald Eagle, located on the north side of White Bear Lake, MN.
- The first settlers came in the mid-1800s, and most were French, English, or German. One of the early settlers worked for the Minnesota Pioneer and promoted the lake in that newspaper.
- Two rail lines intersected at the Bald Eagle train depot, making it a high-traffic station. Bald Eagle area hotels used to send buses down to the White Bear Lake station to compete with the White Bear hotels for customers.
- Bald Eagle Island has been known by a number of names over the years, including Boy Island because it once was used for a boys' summer camp.
- The idea of augmenting a low White Bear Lake isn't a new one. In 1902 there was talk of diverting water from Bald Eagle Lake, Pine Tree Lake or the Mississippi. The Bald Eagle Lake Improvement Association opposed the idea.
