eno.river@ncmail.net Eno River begins in northwest Orange County,
flowing eastward approximately 33 miles until, along with the Little and Flat
rivers, it forms the Neuse and flows into Falls Lake. The Eno's waters roll
through wilderness passing historic mill sites, river bluffs covered with
flowering shrubs and fords used by early settlers. The river can run as swift as
the wind and as gentle as a blowing breeze. But, upstream, rapids smash against
rocks in the river's path. Further down, the Eno meanders quietly through serene
surroundings.
The valley of the river is narrow and steep-walled. The rolling landscape is
carved and sculpted by swift-flowing water. Eno River State Park lies here, in
the beauty of more than 2,600 acres of natural resources. Five access areas—Cabe
Lands, Cole Mill, Few's Ford, Pleasant Green and Pump Station—offer entry into
this largely unspoiled river environment.
