Description
Want a relaxing respite from city life? The Eno is the perfect place for a weekend getaway. The park encompasses over 3,900 acres of lush forest, and features more than 24 miles of hiking trails, a babbling river running through the center, and 11 great campsites to choose from, making it one of the Triangle Region's best-loved parks. The namesake of the park, the Eno river, flows from northwest Orange County, runs for 33 miles through Durham county, and empties into Falls Lake, near the town of Wake Forest. It's a great river for fishing, as bluegill, largemouth bass, crappie, bullhead, and other types of fish abound in the sparkling waters. Go explore the area for yourself, or enjoy one of the educational programs and workshops provided by the state park system.
