Great facilities. Most trail are shaded. Great place to bring a dog! A good trail workout as there are some ups and downs. Water was very refreshing to swim in. All the hikers and swimmers were very friendly! Next time I’ll bring a picnic basket. Your definitely need water shoes or water sandals in the water. Lots of rocks.

I love Eno River State Park. It was my first time there, and I was thoroughly impressed. The park is very clean and well-organized, with plenty of signs. They offer various options for both short and long-distance trails, and the looping trails make it easy to explore without retracing your steps. The creek, lake, and waterfall were stunning. During my visit, I saw turtles sunbathing on stones, deer up close, as well as frogs and butterflies. It was such a beautiful and gorgeous experience, and I can't wait to go back again.
