My family and I have been going on adventures in this park for ten years and it never fails to amaze. Between the trails, sand art, tiny lizards running around, and the river there is always something to do. Some people swim in the water, I wouldn't advise that but kayaking or canoeing is reasonable. In addtion, the park volunteers... More

One of several ways to access the Eno River. Great place for hiking and access to a slow meandering river. Can take dogs on a leash and children, too!

More than just a park, the photography museum, house and mill add a lot. Walks are fairly easy but hilly. Kids can splash in the river. Access to several trails. Kayak access. Fun all seasons.

This park is tranquil, well kept and a great place for families to go for picnics and great picturesque places for some of the best photos possible.

The Eno River is a great place to take the family. Lots of space to explore outside and home to the annual summer festival! A must see location for anyone visiting Durham!

Each year, this little oasis hosts the Eno Festival which showcases art, singers, bands and open air shops. It's fun...and usually unbearably hot. the rest of the year the park is quiet and the buildings locked. On Sundays the blacksmith shop is sometimes open and you can hear the iron being pounded on the anvil. Historic and a good family... More

Nice trails along the river with historic grist mill. Part of Eno River state park. Regular summer festival over 4th of July week-end is hot and very crowded. Music good, but not as top-notch over the last couple of years. Watch out for the poison ivy!

West Point on the Eno is a city park, it has an old (working) grist mill, the Hugh mangum Museum of photography (very itneresting) and a blacksmiths. The Eno river used to be one of the most polluted in NC, but over the years the Eno river association has been buying land along the river and it is now one... More
