Eagles Rise Trail at Mantua
The Eagles Rise Trail is narrow singletrack on the slopes of the mountain east of Mantua Reservoir. The Eagles Rise loop itself is 2.5 miles with 400 vertical feet of total climbing. Our ride has a side trip to Little Knoll, and a trip around the Mantua Dike Trail . Mantua is located in the about three miles east of Brigham City just off US-89 and 91. The lake is surrounded by mountains, and offers fishing, boating, and camping. Because Eagles Rise is a short trail, most riders will want to combine their cycling with other activities.
