Wooded trails flanks the Eno. Quick serene escape from internal combustion nightmare whizzing by nearby.
Quick walk from the parking area to the pump station ruins. Very peaceful along the river.
Beautiful trail. Most of it is within sight of the Eno.
Very fun! Definitely exhausting, in a good way, if you do the whole thing. Took us 2.5 hours and we took a lot of breaks to look at bugs.
Fun little hike had it all: physical history, a creek running alongside the trail, and a great view of the ruins up close on the trail or from the river (which can be easily crossed at most times.)
Scenic and nature filled
Well kept hiking trails, but not super crowded
Really nice hiking area to explore. I would like to visit other trails next time Im around.
Nice, easy trail near Eno.
Love this trail! And have enjoyed helping the Friends of the MTS Trail replace the bridge that washed out from last years flooding. Though I wish we didnt have to do so much trash claenup from people littering. It is neat to see the old pump station and other structures still standing along this beautiful trail that hugs the Eno river.
Nice trail! Moderately hilly, well marked.
Nice hike with the dogs
Very neat walking trail with alot of history involved, nice place to play in the river
Beautiful trail but hard.
Awesome hike! Super easy
Great easy hiking trail. The majority of the 1.5 mile loop is rather flat.The loop starts at one entrance and ends at the other entrance. You have to walk a short distance down the dirt road to get back to the entrance you parked at.
This is our most walked part of the Eno River trails, as a family. Not only because it is close to our home, but because it is beautiful here! The history behind the old pump station is interesting and if you dont know it, I recommend looking it up before going. It also provides a great educational experience or talking oppurtunity with children of all ages. Some of the wildlife we have seen along the End River especially on this part of the river and trail, has been our favorite and most memorable. Its a great place to take your dog. In fact if I happen to pass any people at all on the trail, they often have their dogs. My dog loves it! You can easily get down to the river from this access point. Not as easy as some others, but it provides a nice short hike that satisfy smaller children and allow for their reward to be the river! Such a beautiful point on the river at that! I like to go here indepently and just relax, take pics, or meditate. I find people along the river with set up hammocks, rocking the day away in the gentle breezes. I will say the only downfall, as with a lot of trails or other places, in this area, is that if we get a bit of rainfall all at once, there are some parts that easily get very muddy and I would plan your shoes accordingly. Anyway, happy trails!
The best access to the Eno River. My favorite trail for walking dogs. Beautiful large pine and some hardwoods line the trail on either side at the lower access entry path. A small creek runs parallel for the initial section of trail. This trail connects to others (which may be viewed on map). Parking is either for upper trail or lower after crossing bridge from Cole Mill side. Keep in mind, no parking lot available for the Pump Station Trail. Lower entrance is the most common for non dog walkers as the trail is narrow. Upper is preferred for large dog owners, runners and those who prefer wider entrance that leads down to Eno River/ Cole mill trails or Catherine Dunagan trail-see hardy uphill hike-allow 2 hours minimum. Beautiful remains of Dunagan family homestead atop the crest of hill, including Catherines 1860 Tombstone.
Love it here!
Not sure
Small edge-of-road parking area for pump station loop trail.
Great trail head with access to many trails
