Eagle Awareness is a long-standing tradition at Lake Guntersville State Park with more than twenty years of offering exciting programs and guided field trips. The program was started not only as an activity that people of all ages can enjoy, but also as a way to educate the public to the importance of protecting our most valuable treasure, the Bald Eagle and our wildlife, and their habitat and natural environment.
