Fodor's Review:

Eagle River Road leads 12 mi into the mountains from the bedroom community of Eagle River. The Eagle River Nature Center, at the end of Eagle River Road, has wildlife displays, telescopes for wildlife spotting, hiking trails, and volunteers to answer questions, lead hikes, and host naturalist programs throughout the year. A cabin that sleeps eight, and a pair of yurts (insulated tents) that sleep four and six are available for rental. Cost is $65 per night, and a hike in of about 1½ mi is required. Amenities include woodstoves, firewood, and outdoor latrines.

  • Cost: $5 parking
  • Open: May and Sept., Tues.-Sun. 10-5; June-Aug., Sun.-Thurs. 10-5, Fri. and Sat. 10-7; Oct.-Apr., Fri.-Sun. 10-5
