Eaton Ranch
Eagle River Preserve
The Eagler River Preserve, a 72-acre site, located in the heart of Edwards, has been heralded as the community's "Central Park". Surrounded on three sides by development and bordered by a beautiful quarter-mile stretch of the Eagle River on the north, the property is owned by Eagle County. Its purchase in 2005 as community open-space was the vision of long-time area resident Harry Frampton and spearheaded by the Vail Valley Foundation that raised $12 million for its acquisition.
The property is rich with history of the Eagle River Valley...as home for Native Americans, next as a stage stop, and finally as a working ranch. Now, because of tremendous community interest and financial support, it will forever remain green-space for residents -- human and wildlife alike -- to enjoy.
