Eagle River is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in the U.S. state of Michigan.
The land of the Eagle River community had been leased by the Keweenaw Copper Company in 1843.
It opened in 1990 as a replacement for the historic Lake Shore Drive Bridge that runs parallel to it.
Eagle River is home to the Holy Transfiguration Skete, a Byzantine Catholic monastery and community, which is known for producing jams and other foodstuffs from berries collected in the nearby forests.
The community of Eagle River was listed as a newly-organized census-designated place for the 2010 census, meaning it now has officially defined boundaries and population statistics for the first time.
