Exit Highway 99 at Mamquam Road and head north on Government Road to the viewing area. An interpretive display explains the eagles and salmon life cycle.
• Eagle Watch is a volunteer community-based interpretive program offered to help visitors at the Eagle Run viewing area to understand the eagles and salmon life cycle, and to get a close-up view through telescopes. Interpreters are on the dyke each weekend until early February.
• Due to the park's high conservation values, no recreation facilities exist in the park. Recreation use, except for fishing, is closed from October 1 to March 31 of each year. Recreation use from April 1 to September 30 of each year is limited, to maintain low numbers and low intensity use. The park is closed to campfires, camping, trail development, mountain biking, horseback riding, and mechanized activity. Commercial recreation activities are restricted to river rafting opportunities where appropriate wildlife viewing practices are followed and require a Park Use Permit.

Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park is located primarily on the west side of the Squamish River, near the community of Brackendale BC, approximately 70 km north of Vancouver. It stretches from just south of the confluence with the Mamquam River to just north of the confluence with the Cheakumus River. Access to the park is prohibited during winter months, due to the presence of the bald eagles. Access is limited the remainder of the year due to the difficulty of access to the west side of the Squamish River. The nearest communities, towns and cities are Brackendale and Squamish.

• Wildlife -Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park preserves critical habitat for wintering bald eagles. During the winter months, large numbers of eagles congregate along the Squamish and Cheakamus Rivers to feed on salmon carcasses. Other wildlife species in the park include black bear (Ursus americanus), cougar (Felis concolor), gray wolf (Canis lupus), and Columbian black-tailed deer (Odecoileus hemionus columbianus). Fur-bearing species include coyote (Canis latrans), bobcat (Lynx rufus), mink (Mustela vison), and weasel (Mustela frenata). Many small mammals inhabit the area including the Northern flying-squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus), the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus), and the yellow-pine chipmunk (Tamias amoenus). Reptiles found in the area include three species of garter snake. Eleven amphibians are likely present; these include the tailed frog (Ascaphus truei) and the northwestern salamander (Ambystoma gracile). There are approximately 148 bird species that use the park area at various times throughout the year.

• There is no river crossing from the east side of the Squamish River to the park on the west side. Views of the park are enjoyed by the public from areas outside the park boundaries. Viewing facilities are provided on the municipality dyke, across from the Easter Seal Camp on Government Road in Brackendale.
