I've been going to Eagle Falls Lodge for almost 10 years. When I go there it's by far the best week out of the entire year. I love it up there. You catch a lot of fish and big ones at that. The food is great. The view is great. The owners provide such good service for their guests. They care a lot about your visit to Eagle Falls Lodge. They want you to be satisfied and they go above and beyond to give you one of the best trips of your life. If you like to fish,catch fish, eat fish, eat great foods, spend time in nature, or just get away then this is the place to go. The shore lunches are the best part. There is nothing like eating freshly caught walleye right from the water. It's better than any fish I've ever eaten. I could go on and on about Eagle Falls Lodge and the memories I have made there. I can't wait to get up there this summer to catch some of those walleye and Northern.

Spent a week at Eagle Falls this past July and it was an amazing vacation and fishing experience. Travis and Carrie manage to make everyone feel at home and comfortable. Their top priority is their guests experience and it shows. I'm new to walleye/pike fishing, but caught more than I can count. Travis made sure that we had the correct tackle and techniques, and even spent a day showing us where to fish. Food was all you can eat and excellent! Carrie is a great cook. Travis also cooks a mean ribeye. Accommodations are clean and well maintained - exactly what you would expect from a rustic lodge. The only negative I can think of is the lack of non-stop flights between Texas and Red Lake. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed.

Last Spring I recieved a phone call from my dad and he was pretty excited. He told me he had just won the grand prize at the Bloomington,IL sports show. I was very excited for him and couldn't believe my luck when he said it was a trip for two at Eagle Falls Lodge and I was welcome to go with him. My dad talked to Travis several times and both of us started reading Carrie and Travis's great blog. We booked our trip for late June and started gathering our gear in preparation. From the moment everyone arrives at the boat until the end of the trip Travis and Carrie make you feel like you are part of the family. They make sure that you have everything you need and with it being our first trip to these two lakes Travis took us out and showed us where and how to catch fish. We caught a bunch of fish with Travis and after we were finished fishing he marked up a map for us. With his help and the map we caught more walleyes than we ever dreamed. We also caught as many northerns as we could handle. We fished Parker the night we arrived and liked it so much we never fished anywhere else. My dad and I had the time of our lives and both of us have fished all over the U.S. This was the best trip we have ever been on and it was not the great fishing that made it the best. Both of us have been on trips where we caught a ton of fish. What makes this trip so great are the hosts, accomadations, and great location and atmosphere. The food is outstanding and Carrie made some of the best deserts I have ever eaten. Even if we had not caught a fish we would have had a great time. Thanks to Carrie and Travis for all of their hard work in making our trip such a great experience. We can't wait to return.

May 2011 marked the first time visiting Eagle Falls Lodge on Parker Lake. We stayed a total of 5 days and it goes without saying, my son Zach and I had one of the BEST times we have ever had fishing. Travis & Carrie Mack- the owners do a great job making everyone feel at home from the beginning. Carrie is a fantastic cook and the menu she has put together is to die for – YUMMY!!! The fishing is phenomenal; we averaged 16” to 24” Pike and 15” to 18” Walleye daily. Travis goes the extra mile to make sure the time you spend out on the water is an eventful one. He is happy to guide you through the lake showing you where to fish and what to use to catch the big ones. Visitors should plan on seeing Eagles, Moose, Duck and Beaver on a daily basses; never venture out without your camera. Sleeping arrangements are what you would expect; each room has everything one needs to feel at home and comfortable. The trip was well worth every penny and we plan on visiting again soon.

This was my first time and Egale Falls I have not been fishing for 15 years. I went with some family members that have been going for many years. It was a great experience the fishing was more then I could have hoped for I didn't know I could catch so many fish since I have not been fishing for 15 years,I almost felt like a pro.The hosts were great and made you feel like a family member, the food was great the cabins were very nice and clean. Its a real breath of fresh air when you see a young couple work so hard to make your week a great one. If your going fishing and want to feel like a King or Queen and even catch big fish then you must try Eagle Falls. Travis and Carrie all I can say is WOW it sure was nice to be part of you family of a week THANKS BILL FROM STEVENS POINT,WI.

I just returned from Eagle Falls the fishing was fanominal we very nice sized walleye around 13 to 18 with a 23,24, and almost a 25+ if we hadnt forgotten the net on our last night out.We caught a ton of pike as well, including a 30" and a 41" which we caught while trolling the back bay and a 45+ which tore a whole in our net. We could not have asked for better hosts Travis and Carrie. They helped us with where to fish and what to use and were more than happy to share any and all tips they had. Carries cooking was outstanding, fresh home cooked meals every night and for breakfast which were all delicious along with Travis behind the grill or a frier, after I left I didnt think I`d be able to eat for days! Overall it was a great trip with good food food, great fishing and great company!

Travis & Carrie are the greatest. Best hosts ever. Great meals (gained 5 pounds, thanks a lot), and never slept better. You won't find a better deal. You are isolated but have all the conforts, running hot water, heat, really nice lodge to hang out in. Choice of lakes right out the lodge door. One walkway to Parker (smaller & more "comfortable") or go the other way to Red Lake. Continuing imporvement to the grounds. Boats on both lakes are always ready to go. Couldn't ask for anything more. If it is your first time Travis is more than willing to give you a primer on what to do and where to go so you can get off running. Vary knowledgable and more t han happy to share. And because of the helpfull friendly atmosphere create by Travis & Carrie they attract like people. All of the guests were equally friendly and fun to be with. Both seasoned and first time anglers will find this the ideal Lodge. If you ever want to go north, this is "THE" place to go. I'll never go any other place. Thank you Travis and Carrie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve just returned from another great time at Eagle Falls Lodge. The current owners are the 3rd set since I’ve been going to this Lodge and I’d say these young people go above and beyond to make sure that you enjoy yourself and have a great fishing experience. I was most impressed by the fact that the “cook” was willing to cater to special diets of a couple of the individuals who were there. By the way, she does an excellent job and has even added a few dishes of her own along with the typical fair as started by the previous owners. The cost is way to reasonable and even with they determine an increase in the cost is necessary it will still be the best value for the money. If you haven’t tried it, I’d suggest you do. I’ve checked out some others and continue to return every couple years!!

We arrived at Eagle Falls Lodge on June 3rd, 2011. The late spring made the water temp colder on Red Lake; therefore the bite was very slow. But on the smaller Lake Parker the temp was up and the bite was on. Many, many walleyes were caught. I helped net a 42 inch Northern Pike for a group out of Sedalia Mo who forgot to take a landing net out (on Parker)...........Our hosts Travis and Carrie have made more updates on the new addition. The two new rooms are a must see. The deck adjoining the two rooms is wonderful...Again the meals were superb. Carrie and Travis, I gained six pounds while I was there! Great place to fish and relax. Wouldn't miss it.
