Educational Programs & Hikes on the Eno

Join the Eno River Association to learn about the Eno on a guided hike or during other educational programs and activities led by knowledgeable volunteers and staff.

This trail passes through open fields, deep forests, and rocky outcrops in less than two miles. Easy to moderate walking with one short, steep stretch that rewards with a bluff-top view of the river. Penny’s Bend is a horseshoe bend in the river formed by diabase rock. The underlying diabase here makes the soil basic, supporting plants unusual to the Piedmont. Spring wildflowers abound, including spectacular displays of Dutchman’s Breeches some years. If there have been recent rains, parts of the trail may be muddy and a walking stick is helpful. Link to a map of the trails at Penny’s Bend: http://enotrails.com/pennys-bend-area.htmThis hike will take approximately two hours (sometimes less, sometimes more).
