Water Hydrants Off for the Winter
The water hydrants are being turned off for the winter at Fews Ford and Cole Mill Accesses.
Fews Ford campers can still get water outside the restroom building, but
Piper Creek campers must bring any needed water with them, as there is none available at that access.
Scheduled events
Eno River State Park offers a variety of learning opportunities for all ages. Typically led by park rangers, these interpretive programs allow the public to gain perspective into what makes North Carolina state parks naturally wonderful.
Most of the events are free, though some require pre-registration. All give park visitors deeper insight into the natural world. Call the park office for more information.

On the first day of winter we'll talk about how artists have been inspired by snow and take a short hike to the Eno River for ideas. The Naturalist will show you a few ways to make your own snow art and then you can decide which ones you want to try out.
