Historic Eagle City is a great place. Safe, community minded, family oriented. Nice area for active retired folks, sportsman, prospectors, writers/artists, historians, and folks who just love a wilderness setting. We have: k-12 school, EMS, fire station, library & the largest museum in the state. We are the gateway to Yukon Charley Rivers National Preserve. We are also located at the mid check point for the Yukon Quest 1000 mi. Dog race. We have 1 store, 1 laundry, 2 gas/garages; mail is flown in m-f depending on weather.

Fun Stuff To Do: berry picking, hunting, hiking, fishing, water sports, snow machining, skiing, dog mushing, rock hounding, gold prospecting, fossil hunting, photography, four-wheeling (in fact you can use four-wheelers for all your transportation needs on our gravel roads) and opportunities to volunteer as museum guide, librarian, city council member. EMT and fire etc...

Being located at the end of a 160 mile dirt road has its challenges and advantages. Road is closed mid-Oct through mid-April. As one colorful local puts it "We are not snowed in, everyone else is snowed out!"  Travel to & from the nearest city (Fairbanks) is via mail plane when the road is closed. I have been here since 1981 and can answer just about any question you may have. Please email for more details.
