Discovering the Eno River

There is so much discover in North Carolina, it doesn't take me long to realize that I've barely scratched the surface even after living here for the past decade.

This past holiday weekend, my son Teddy and I joined his Cub Scout pack for an overnight camping trip on the Eno River in Durham.


That picture is him on a footbridge we had to walk over to get to the group campsite.  There is a sign on the far side of the bridge that states "The water rose to the level of this sign during Hurricane Fran in 1996".  (Wow.)

The group camping site we selected was terrific - secluded from other campites with wonderful privacy and designated areas that made tent set-up a piece of cake.  There was great fishing in the river - many a Scout caught their first fish - and hiking trails abound.  Of course there was hot dog and s'more cooking on the campfire and ghost stories and flashlight tag before bed.

Great memories will remain a lifetime and I encourage you to check out the Eno River for your next camping excursion!

That's awesome. More parents need to take their kids camping and fishing. It is slowly getting lost in todays society!!
