The Eira River is a river in Nesset Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The 7-kilometre (4.3 mi) long river flows from the lake Eikesdalsvatnet past the village of Eresfjord and into the Eresfjorden. The mountain Skjorta lies 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of the river.
Historically, the river was a bountiful salmon fishing area, but since it has become a regulated river for nearby hydro-electric power stations, the fish have not been as plentiful.[1]
