Eno River State Park - Fews Ford Access — Attraction in Hillsborough

I recently visited Eno River State Park with my family, and it was such a peaceful and refreshing experience. The trails were well-marked and shaded, making it perfect for a summer hike. We explored the Cole Mill and Bobbitt Hole trails – both were scenic, not too difficult, and had beautiful river views throughout.

The river spots were a big hit with the kids – they loved splashing around and skipping rocks, and the water was cool and clear. We packed a picnic and enjoyed lunch by the water. There were clean restrooms and plenty of shaded spots to rest, which made the day very comfortable.

The park felt safe, family-friendly, and well-maintained. If you’re looking for a place to unwind in nature without driving too far from Durham, this park is a gem. Highly recommend for hiking, picnicking, and spending quality time...

In Eno River State Park and at the Buckquarter Creek Trailhead. There is a parking lot here and it is somewhat close to the park office. Bathrooms are at the park office. There are a few trash cans and a recycling receptacle as well.

The river is very calm here and good for fishing, wading, and floating on tubes and rafts. I've seen small boats like kayaks and canoes enter here as well.

The riverbank at this area is easily walkable and can accommodate a ton of people. Good for children and families.

Good place...

My first visit here was Saturday. I was missing a lot! I usually do my hikes from the Cole Mill access. Few's Ford has opened a new world of possibilities. I loved the suspended bridge and the wide hiking trails. There were lots of people enjoying the space. The parking lot was jam packed and there is also construction happening as well. I hope part of the construction builds more parking spaces. Overall, this was a great experience and I will be back to hike...
