There's still time to donate to the Dick Griffith Challenge! We only need $3000 to reach our goal! In recognition of Dick's pioneering use of the packraft, we are also holding a "PackRafftle". Enter to win an Alpacka Raft Package! Your donations will support everything the volunteers and staff do to make the Nature Center a special place to learn, visit, and recreate with friends and family year round! Every dollar amount matters. Thank you!!!

The Eagle River Nature Center
You’ll discover the beauty of the Eagle River Valley as you begin your drive along Eagle River Road. Residential areas will give way to breathtaking views of glacially-carved mountains. At Mile 12 you will reach the log cabin nature center – a threshold for connecting to the ever-changing landscape beyond. The Nature Center is operated by a small, grass roots non-profit organization. We hope you'll visit us and take some time to enjoy the trails and programs we offer.
