Eagle River is a scenic small-town community outside Anchorage
Eagle River is about 15 miles north of downtown Anchorage — close to the city, but just far enough to give the area its own small-town setting. Residents have access to casual eateries, basic shopping and well-rated schools, with additional shopping just down the road in Anchorage. Eagle River is also known as the Gateway to Chugach. The natural beauty of Chugach State Park is a big draw, with extensive hiking areas and views of the immense Chugach Mountains surrounding the community.
