Eagle Mountain is a popular hike for those looking to become members of the Catskills 3500 Club, and is located within the Big Indian Wilderness Area, one of the more remote sections of the Catskill Mountains.

From the Pine-Hill West Branch Trail, hikers can approach close to the summit of Eagle Mountain and take a small side path marked by a cairn the rest of the way to the top.

The mountain is quite close to two other Catskill 3500 peaks – Balsam and Big Indian – and many hikers combine their hike at Eagle Mountain with one or both of these other peaks.

The area contains many lean-tos for campers who wish to spend multiple days hiking and exploring the area.
