This is one of the more ambitious projects I have encountered in our time in State Parks. This is the new Eagle Tower. It was built to replace the original Eagle Tower that had to be taken down in 2016. The friends of Peninsula State Park decided they would replace the tower that had to be removed with a tower that was more accessible. I suppose they decided an elevator missed the point of an outdoor experience so they came up with this design - a long ramp allowing those in wheel chairs or using walkers to reach the top. We did see one lady with a walker coming down on our way up. The view from the top was impressive especially when captured as a panorama, but the structure itself was what captured my attention. I wonder just how much money was required to purchase the wood columns required in the construction.
