This nine-tenths of a mile pathway leads to the beach and Eagles Mere Park. It honors Captain Embley Shafer Chase, general manager of the Eagles Mere Syndicate from 1886 to 1919 and the originator of much that is Eagles Mere. His innovations included the Laurel Path, the Outlet Footbridge, the Ice Toboggan Slide, laying out the village streets, organizing the volunteer fire company, and planning the farsighted sewer system that still helps preserve the purity of the lake. The pathway was developed by the Borough Council to enhance road safety.
