Nice trails along the river with historic grist mill. Part of Eno River state park. Regular summer festival over 4th of July week-end is hot and very crowded. Music good, but not as top-notch over the last couple of years. Watch out for the poison ivy! More

Haven't been there in a while, but when I used to go I enjoyed walking the trails, and seeing the photography exhibit, grist mill, and waterfall. There are picnic tables too. I always felt safe; though, going with a friend is always good advice. Nice place to walk dogs. More

This is a great park located on a busy main street, but once you get down the drive you are transported to the country. Nice. Quiet. Family-friendly. More

This is a great place to go for a hike anytime of the year. I used to go here sometimes on my lunch breaks - it's so doable. I always like to go down to the mill, especially during times of the year when it's open. No matter what season a trip here is sure to make me feel better... More
