Eager sightseers boarded a Army Corps of Engineers open barge today to explore for American Bald Eagles along the Dale Hollow Lake shoreline. They stared at the tree tops on the horizon for a glimpse of America’s symbol of freedom and learned about how these amazing birds made a comeback to the region in the 1980s. Each year on the third and fourth Saturday of January park rangers and staff from the lake host the annual Eagle Watch tour at Dale Hollow Lake. The barge picks up its first watchers from Lillydale Recreation Area and others at Dale Hollow Resort State park.
