The Eagle River Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center was founded in 1948 by local business leaders who shared a vision of strengthening business practices, improving community conditions, and promoting the region’s growing tourism industry. More than 75 years later, the Chamber continues to operate with that same commitment and purpose.
Today, the Eagle River area is one of the nation’s most popular family vacation destinations. As the community has grown, so has Chamber membership, reflecting the steady expansion of local businesses and services. Eagle River serves as the Vilas County seat and is a hub for year-round recreational activities, drawing visitors from across the country.
The Chamber proudly supports and promotes the region by organizing a variety of events throughout the year. Local residents understand the value of collaboration and rely on the Chamber as a forum for encouraging thoughtful, responsible growth. Enhancing the exceptional quality of life that makes our area unique remains at the heart of everything we do.
