Room history
The Iroquois was a 60-foot steamboat that made scheduled trips around the Lake. When this steamboat was built in 1889, the hotel owners constructed docks to permit passengers to be picked up. The Iroquois also became a sightseeing boat, and Eagles Mere’s only form of public transportation. When the tourists would ride up on the railroad to the Outlet Pond Station, the Iroquois would pick them up near-by giving them a delightful ride on the water and taking them to their hotel landings. It ran for 11 years and was then replaced with the Iroquois II, running every half hour for 5 cents between docks, 10 cents around the lake, or $2 for 25 trips.
