Eno River, The

Located in Durham and Orange counties 10 miles northwest of downtown Durham, Eno River State Parks spans across five access areas along its namesake river. The swift, but often shallow stream of the river can make for difficult paddling but provides beautiful landmarks like the Cascades. This riparian environment is popular with anglers, birdwatchers, and photographers alike. The park offers plenty of recreational opportunities just minutes from city amenities, and it is one of the state parks along the Mountains-to-Sea State Trail.

There are two camping sites for tent sites. Picnic shelters are available for picknicking. Hiking, paddling and fishing are other recreational opportunities.

There are no fees required to access Eno River State park for day use. However, fees are charged for camping, certain event, permits and facility reservations.
