Eno River

The Eno River at first glance seems like a city river polluted, with little to offer. But, once you start exploring all the paths along the river, there is a lot of opportunity to enjoy nature.

As a kid I don't remember having access to anything like this. I love going for a hike after work with the kids or on the weekends. We not only talk about nature and the importance of preserving it, but also about life. It forces us to slow down and go back to basics. No email, cell phone, TV, or Internet to worry about...

I hope they grow up appreciating the Eno River and have wonderful memories.

I have great memories of the Eno myself to include a canoe trip with my wife, hiking with Caitlyn and Kathi, playing Xena Warrior (I was not Xena) Princess through the woods, throwing rocks with the kids, swimming with our dogs, and the number one memory of all....... Taking an inflatable canoe down the river when it was right after the hurricane. Needless to say, my canoe lost control, got punctured by a huge tree in the river, and I walked home!
