What's Happening:
Our September Nights Annual Auction Fundraiser will be on 9/16/2023 at 49th State Brewing in Anchorage. Tickets can be purchased via the button below. We hope you can join us for an amazing evening to raise funds for the Nature Center!

The Albert Loop is CLOSED as of 8/10/2023. This is a seasonal closure by Chugach State Park due to the salmon run and bear activity. The closure is strictly enforced. The closure does not affect the Iditarod/Crow Pass trail, the Rodak Loop and its viewing platforms, or the Dew Mound Trail – all accessible from the Eagle River Nature Center trailhead. The Albert Loop trail is targeted for reopening at freeze-up when most bears go into hibernation.

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.
