EAGLE POINT
. . . "Gateway to the Lakes"

Eagle Point is a friendly, caring community with urban standards and a rural sense of place. Located 12 miles northeast of Medford, just off State Highway 62, Eagle Point is a blend of Old and New attracting retirees and young families to enjoy a quality of life embedded in history and family values.

Eagle Point takes pride in being home to the Eagle Point National Cemetery which inspired the City's "Avenue of the Flags" honoring our nations veterans. The American Flags are flown during holidays such as Memorial Day, July 4th, Veteran's Day and other patriotic events. Located in the downtown historic district next to the Antelope Creek Covered Bridge, is the Eagle Point Museum, second largest artifact collection in Jackson County, with displays of historical items that preserve the history of the city as well as the upper Rogue and Rogue Valley. The 1870 Butte Creek Mill, located on Little Butte Creek, next to the museum, is the last remaining water powered grist mill in the West; a pioneer-era general store site adjacent to the working mill.

The arrival of the Eagle Point Golf Course, an 18-hole championship course, marked the beginning of the growth and revitalization of Eagle Point. This prime location, with one of the most spectacular views in the Rogue Valley, has plans for Town Homes and a Village Center is now under construction. People are moving to Eagle Point because of the livability, friendly people, a recently completed new fire station, with plans for new schools, and a new library completed in 2003.

The increasingly popular 4th of July Parade and Festivities, including fireworks, booths, lawnmower races, and more, bring out both locals and visitors for a hometown reunion and celebration.
