Eagle River Alaska Last Updated: 03/22/2024 |
| Eagle River is an independent-minded bedroom community about 12 miles up the freeway from Anchorage in the mouth of Eagle River Valley. It’s connected to rural Chugiak, Birchwood, Peters Creek, Thunderbird Heights and Eklutna—all sharing a strong sense that their place is separate and more down-to-earth than the big city to the south. | |
| At first, Eagle River might seem like a suburb for commuters, with subdivisions and a downtown district dominated by strip malls. But don’t let a drive-by first impression put you off. This community of 28,000 has that only-in-Alaska dynamic, where L48-style residential neighborhoods have mega-fauna for company, where everyone knows six different 15-minute drives leading to wilderness. The area features full services, groceries, shops, restaurants and lodging—plus an extensive trail system along the river, a state parks campground, and direct access to the high country. | |
