10 foot long raised platform with 3 interpretive signs: I saw water & weeds. No trails or facilities. Parking on the edge of both sides of the road for a total of 4 cars. Average person stayed 2-3 minutes.
Just a pull off area with a bit of history... No eagles
The eagle sanctuary turn off is located about 5 miles west of the Svensen/Burnside intersection on the right side of hwy 30 headed toward Astoria. The exit is marked by road signs that lead one to the little pull off spot on the side of a little backroad. There isnt much for site if you drive too fast to pay attention and see it as all u see is a fenced in wooden little seating area with a landmarking of posted information. It stands amidst a breathtaking view of the Columbian River and the sanctuary grasslands. Eagles nests above in the trees are sometimes spotted as is on the occasion of spotting a bald eagle fly above as they surface the area. There is a little area patches out to walk further down toward the river which leads to the Pacific railroad that used to run through transporting between Astoria and Portland. It is altogether quiet, untouched by anything unnatural or intrusive to the environment, and very peaceful. Its a lovely place to sit and collect ones thoughts or another breathtaking photo of the river and /or sunset.
Its okay. Not really worth the stop.
This place is something to see and bring your binoculars so you can see the eagles. Not many people know about this place and its very special to me
Although we saw no Eagles, the area was beautiful.
Stop in with my girlfriend great to see it is in great shape and is a beautiful view
Beautiful View! Right off the Highway! Meditative atmospheric environment.

Patience is required but this is a simple spot with a beautiful view
Always beautiful, always peaceful. A nice 1 mile detour from highway 30. Great spot for a little break and a stretch.

Beautiful view, great for wild life watchers. No amenities
Patience, lots of patience but will be worth it, had the chance to see lots of bold eagles, on pines, flying, standing on branches, simply amazing.
