Eno River State Park, nestled in Durham and Orange counties just 10 miles northwest of downtown Durham, offers a serene natural escape across five access areas along the Eno River. The river's swift, shallow waters create challenges for paddlers but reward visitors with picturesque spots like the Cascades. This riparian habitat attracts fishing enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and photographers, making it a popular destination for nature lovers.

Visitors to Eno River State Park can enjoy a range of outdoor activities, including hiking on over 30 miles of trails, paddling, fishing, and picnicking at select spots. The park is a haven for camping enthusiasts, offering tent sites with free firewood at Fews Ford and Cole Mill access areas, perfect for those seeking a back-to-nature experience. Moreover, the park forms part of the Mountains-to-Sea State Trail, connecting visitors to a broader outdoor adventure.
