Eno River State Park

- Durham
Eno River State Park protects a wooded river corridor in the Durham area, with trails connecting water, rock, forest, and traces of earlier land use.
Different access areas offer distinct walks, so the experience can range from a short riverside outing to a more demanding hike. The river's changing conditions are central to the landscape.
Choose an official access point and trail before setting out, and check current closures and water conditions. Carry water, wear suitable footwear, and follow all swimming and river-safety guidance rather than assuming calm-looking water is safe.
