lower eagle river overview
As the Lower Eagle River flows through the towns of Edwards and Eagle, it slows down creating a meandering run with a handful of small rapids, giving boaters a mild taste of white water. The beautiful, wide canyon scenery is a great distraction to the hustle and bustle of I-70, which parallels the river.
