Jack, Eagles in Linesville? I know when I go out on Pymatuning in my little boat I always see at least one or two just North of the Padanaram launch up near the sailboat club, on the West side.

Where can I see them in Linesville? I'm just south of where Rt 6 turns east off of Rt 7.

Definitely riding into 'Bula tomorrow (work) :cry: .

Just south of Linesville, Joe. It's been there for years. Several Bald Eagle nests with new eagles every year. You know where Rt 6 comes into Linesville from the west you come to the stop sign by the gas station in the center of town and turn right at next corner with stoplight and it's a couple miles or so south. On the east side of the road just past the Fish Hatchery and before you get to the Spillway where they feed the carp take a left into the Visitor Center. Eagle roost by the visitors center, folks there with scopes watching them.

Some years ago I was sitting at Jamestown Beach on the south end of the lake with a friend from the Erie area that I rode with for a few years. We spotted a bald eagle over the lake and he told me about the eagle roost and we went over there, been stopping by there ever since. This friend grew up in the area and they were there when he was a kid. Been there a long time, surprised you never heard of it.

I go thru Jefferson and take back roads past your Rt 6 & 7 corner when I go to Linesville.

I know exactly the place Jack, just never knew there were eagles there!

Leaving Jefferson, go out by the vo-ed school and make a right there onto Denmark Rd. Follow that until you get to Stanhope-Kellogsville Rd. Make a right, when you come to the road that goes east at an angle, where all the heavy equipment is parked, turn left. That road takes you to the intersection where 6/7 are (you'll be looking at Rt 6 straight across it. If you turn right there and go a mile, you'd be at my house.

If you rode by there a few years back you would have seen a humongous pile of tires, but they caught fire and it took a couple days to put out!

We'll have to do some riding together this year.
