Eagle River Nature Center is located in Eagle River, Alaska with Chugach State Park. It is one of the four largest state parks in the United States. The park is less than an hour drive from Anchorage and is a good place to start exploring Alaska straight off of a plane. The center is part of Chugach State Park. This link will provide more information.

We arrived at the park entrance before it opened, since our plane landed in Anchorage at 2:00 am. We did some grocery shopping at a 24-hour super market. To keep our groceries cold we bought some frozen vegetables to use as ice packs and a cooler bag.
Eagle River Nature Center has easy walking trails near the entrance with scenic mountain vistas. Board walks are along the river, including the Beaver Viewing Deck.
Much longer trails include Crow Pass. This hike will lead to Crow Pass in Girdwood, Alaska.
