Eagle River (Colorado)

The Eagle River is a tributary of the Colorado River, approximately long, in west central Colorado in the United States.

It rises in southeastern Eagle County, at the continental divide, and flows northwest past Gilman, Minturn, Avon. Near Wolcott, it turns west, flowing past Eagle and Gypsum, and joins the Colorado at Dotsero, in western Eagle County.

The Eagle is navigable by typical small river craft upstream to Vail in most years. Its flow ranges from in late summer of dry years to during spring runoff.

Acid mine drainage from the abandoned Eagle Mine has entered the river.

Eagle River (Wisconsin)

The Eagle River is a tributary of the Wisconsin River in northeastern Wisconsin in the United States. Via the Wisconsin River, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of 181.7 square miles (470.6 kmĀ²) in the state's Northern Highland region. The river flows for much of its length through a series of lakes; the network of 28 lakes in the Eagle River's watershed is locally claimed to be the "world's largest chain of inland freshwater lakes."

The Eagle River rises in extreme western Forest County in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, and flows generally northwestwardly in northeastern Oneida County and southeastern Vilas County, passing through the Oneida County town of Three Lakes and the Vilas County towns of Washington and Lincoln, and the city of Eagle River. Along its course it flows through Big, Dog, Deer, Big Stone, Laurel, Medicine, Little Fork, Island, Round, Planting Ground, and Long Lakes in Oneida County; and Cranberry, Catfish, Voyageur, Eagle, Otter, Lynx, Duck, and Yellow Birch Lakes in Vilas County. It flows into Watersmeet Lake on the Wisconsin River in the town of Lincoln, approximately two miles (3 km) west of the city of Eagle River.

Eagle River (Michigan)

The Eagle River is a stream on the Keweenaw Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. The river flows into Lake Superior in the community of Eagle River. Most of the river lies within Houghton Township.

The main branch of the river is formed at the confluence of its East Branch and its West Branch at the community of Phoenix, about two miles southeast of its mouth, and parallels M-26 from Phoenix into Eagle River.

The east and west branches each run along the south side of the Cliff Range to meet in Phoenix and flow through a gap in the Cliff Range. The west branch rises about three miles southwest of Phoenix in northeastern Allouez Township. Cliff Drive runs alongside the river, and is joined by U.S. Highway 41 and M-26 about a mile and a quarter southeast of Phoenix. The only significant tributary on the west branch is Brodie Creek, which rises a bit further inland from the Cliff Range and enters the west branch just outside Phoenix.

The east branch rises out of Beaver Pond about five miles east of Phoenix. It flows west along the south side of the Cliff Range, paralleled by US 41. The only significant tributary of the east branch is Buffalo Creek, which enters about three miles east of Phoenix.

Alaska Route 7 (Glacier Highway) links the city to the river, a state recreation area, a church camp, and a boy scout camp near the river mouth.

Hiking trails parallel the river for its entire course. One, the Amalga Trail, leads to a public-use cabin on a lake near the foot of Eagle Glacier in the Tongass National Forest. Remnants of the forming mining town of Amalga and the Eagle Creek Mine are slightly north of the river along an unnamed tributary.
