The Eagle River ( English for " Eagle is -flow"), a left tributary of the Bell River in the Canadian Yukon Territory .

The river has its source on the Dempster Highway . It flows south of the trunk road in an easterly direction, later turns north. The Dempster Highway crosses the Eagle River ( ) on its way to the Eastern Richardson Mountains . The Eagle River continues its course to the north and after about 200 km reaches the Porcupine River tributary Bell River. There is a drain gauge at the highway bridge. White water canoe tours use this point as a starting point. The 1½ to 2 week tours run downstream over the Bell River and Porcupine River to Old Crow .
