Welcome to the Eagle River Nature Center

The Eagle River Nature Center is operated by a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to provide connections to nature through interpretive education, resource protection and outdoor opportunities. The Nature Center is located within Chugach State Park – one of Alaska’s largest state parks and within 40 minutes driving distance from downtown Anchorage and 12 miles from the town of Eagle River.

Our annual spring auction was a huge success thanks to all our donors, sponsors and attendees.  Click below for a list of donors.  Thank you all for your generosity and support of the Nature Center's mission.  We couldn't do it without you.
