Eagle Harbor indents the E shore of Bainbridge Island opposite Elliott Bay. It is 2 miles long and affords excellent anchorage in 30 to 39 feet, muddy bottom. It narrows at the head to 300 yards.
Wing Point, on the N side of the entrance to Eagle Harbor, is a narrow, bluff point 30 feet high, covered with trees to the edge. A flag pole is prominent on the point. A reef extends SSE for 0.5 mile from Wing Point and is generally marked by kelp. The S extremity of the reef is marked by a buoy. Tyee Shoal, 0.7 mile SSE of Wing Point, with a least depth of 14 feet, is marked by a light.
Foul ground extends as much as 500 yards off the S point at the entrance; a light and buoy mark its outer limits.
The entrance is deep, but caution is necessary in entering because the natural channel is only 200 yards wide between the reef S of Wing Point and the spit on the W side of the channel entrance. The channel is marked by lights and buoys. A wreck covered 18 feet is at 47°37’09″N., 122°31’11″W.
Winslow is the largest town on Bainbridge Island. It is on the N shore of Eagle Harbor, and is a major ferry port on the cross-sound routes to and from downtown Seattle. About 0.2 mile W of the ferry slip is a large building and two piers which are used by the Washington State Ferry System for ferry mooring and maintenance.
