It then passes under Glenn Highway and flows through Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, a military reservation, to Eagle Bay on Cook Inlet.[6] BoatingParts of the Eagle River are floatable in a variety of watercraft. These sections are rated from Class I (easy) to Class III (difficult) on the International Scale of River Difficulty. Reaching a put-in place on the main stem west of the visitor center involves an arduous portage. A more accessible put-in place lies along the North Fork and Eagle River Road not far above the confluence with the main stem. Dangers include Class II (medium) and Class III rapids near Eagle River Campground, overhanging or submerged vegetation, and logjams.[7] Eagle River Nature CenterThe Eagle River Nature Center, which sits at an entrance to Chugach State Park, is {{convert|12|mi|km}} up Eagle River Road. The center (in conjunction with "friends of") run numerous educational programs aimed at bringing people closer to nature through education and outdoor excursions.[9] The historic Crow Pass Trail, which runs {{convert|26|mi|km}} from the Eagle River Nature Center and ends near the town of Girdwood, remains a favorite backpacking trip.
