The Eagle River is a glacier-fed river that runs through scenic wilderness just a short distance from Anchorage. The river is easy to access and offers some fun and challenging waters for for intermediate paddlers. The 11-mile run between the North Fork and Eagle River CG consists of class I-IV rapids, strainers, and frigid water. The class IV rapids are located just below the campground and can be avoided by using an alternate take-out at the Eagle River Loop Bridge.
