--------------------

A popular location called Eagle's Nest, is located a short distance north of the town of Bancroft.

 

This scenic cliff, with a height of over 60 m (200 ft), overlooks the York River valley, the town of Bancroft, and other densely forest-covered ridges that surround it.

 

It was the location of one of Ontario's first ever heavy steel fire towers in the 1930s built by the former Dept. of Lands and Forests. 12 m (40 ft) icicles dangle from its largest and most massive cliff in the winter and conceals parts of it entirely.

 

It is a popular spot for mountain climbers to practice ice climbing in the winter.

 

However, the road to the top is steep and generally impassable in the winter.
