Eagle Lake is a lake in the western Chilcotin District of the Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada, located southeast of Tatla Lake and west of the city of Williams Lake.[1] The lake is a popular summer location with warm water, sky-blue water, and white sand beaches. Since the lake has no outflow, it is warmer than most lakes on the Chilcotin Plateau.
