West Point on the Eno Park

Basically an interesting place for a dog walk. Because it’s a historic site, there is some information on the Internet about what the community was like there in the 1800s. What’s interesting about this place is that there’s buildings to explore a waterfall, bridges and a river. The trails, however are a bit technical which means they’re a little hard to manage. There’s many hills and roots. I can see on a nice summer day, it might get crowded, but we were there in January and there was no one else there, walking. There were people sitting in their cars in the parking lot however, The museums might be interesting to explore on a weekend when they’re open. But otherwise there are interesting things to explore here. There are signs about the area, see photos. And Port-o-Johns.The trail markings are difficult to follow, don’t bother trying just enjoy the river and the waterfall. Read up about the history of the place.

It was pretty cool. I was trying to do the Eagle Trail, which is on the other side of the eno, and the signage was not helpful at all. I ended up going back to my car and driving to the north lot, which was also poorly marked when i started hiking. It was a pretty walk, though.

Great historic park with wonderful tours, field trips, and public programming. Wonderful place to walk your dog and enjoy the outdoors and natural trails. Make sure you pop by when the historic buildings are open to take a look inside!

Very nice park! The water was very brown and hard to see past your shoulders in. It was also really deep (that was most likely because it was raining the past few days) I do suggest bringing life jackets to it because the most popular swimming area is near a dam. An object did pass our group's legs 3 times, one of the times was my leg. I couldn't see it so I couldn't tell what it was. It was really pretty though and the hikes were very nice. In the water there was a stick you could stand on and rock you could sit on. I think you should go here but be careful in the water!

It's such a cool place to get in touch with nature. it has a couple of hidden spots where you can hang out with some friends or just have some down time with yourself, some small trails for some exploring, and the river is gorgeous to either dip your feet in or go for a swim.
