It was pretty cool. I was trying to do the Eagle Trail, which is on the other side of the eno, and the signage was not helpful at all. I ended up going back to my car and driving to the north lot, which was also poorly marked when i started hiking. It was a pretty walk, though.

Very nice park! The water was very brown and hard to see past your shoulders in. It was also really deep (that was most likely because it was raining the past few days) I do suggest bringing life jackets to it because the most popular swimming area is near a dam. An object did pass our group's legs 3 times, one of the times was my leg. I couldn't see it so I couldn't tell what it was. It was really pretty though and the hikes were very nice. In the water there was a stick you could stand on and rock you could sit on. I think you should go here but be careful in the water!

Whats not to love? A large wooded park along a remarkably clean river, with picnic spots, and operational water-powered mill, easy parking and access, sunny meadows and shaded forest spots... its a perfect outdoor getaway. Mountains-to-Sea trail passes thru, so there are trails you can hike almost forever both up and down stream. And, every year on the 4th of July they have the Festival for the Eno that raises money for land preservation. So much good music and crafts and food and education!

It's such a cool place to get in touch with nature. it has a couple of hidden spots where you can hang out with some friends or just have some down time with yourself, some small trails for some exploring, and the river is gorgeous to either dip your feet in or go for a swim.

Great 'urban' hiking oasis. The historical structures, numerous trails and Eno river swimming hole make it an ideal getaway for an afternoon.

This was a very beautiful place. The perfect place to just go clear your head at that. O took a little walk and really enjoyed it. There were a bunch of families enjoying the scene as well. The only thing I did not like was the weed smokers there, I instantly felt sick to my stomach. That day it was about 80 degrees so the smell was super strong. Other than that this is a great place to hang out at and collect your thoughts.
