West point on the Eno is a fun park with plenty of activities. Shame some are closed due to Covid-19. The river was still fun for the pup.

A beautiful place right outside the city life. Short and long trails for every stage hiker. You can also walk across the waterfall just be careful and cautious. There are plenty of rocks to jump on and water across on the opposite side of the park. They have old buildings including a mill and much more open on Saturdays and sundays 1-5pm. They have port a potties but they were locked today. Also shelters and picnic tables.

This place is a blessing to me spiritually. I have both gotten very very lost here a couple times, and yet metaphorically found a new aspect of myself each time I go. I love this Park and Durham is much better for Eno river park.

It is beautiful and plenty of room for people to swim and the waterfall is gorgeous. Plenty of places to walk and family oriented. Great place to take a surprise date like I did.

Great trails and lovely views! We got a little lost trying to find the swim hole, but we just jumped into the water near the dam. There are steps where you can get into the water. Its relatively branch, moss and insect free. The water is clean and pretty warm between May and August. Even though the dam is nearby, theres not a strong current and its completely safe to swim!

Loved this July 4th we had a great time fun in the sun. Theres a lot to do here but I stayed in the water most of the day!

This is a beautiful Park. I love getting to see the gristmill and the old historic house. I would come when you have time to bring a picnic lunch. there are a number of trails, you can swim in the river, and there are lots of historical buildings to see. If you choose to swim, do so at your own risk. There are no lifeguards, and they do recommend not swimming.

Interesting didnt expect to see people swimming in the water like a city pool but it was cool

I absolutely love this place. Excellent for a day out to get away and just enjoy the peace and the serenity of nature. Have gone out here for several picnic dates, but my favorite thing to do is take my little boy well my dog Kane out for a swim and an evening of festivities in the park. Youd never would imagine that such a great place is hidden right here in Durham. Whether you are a hiker, enjoy riding bikes, a dog enthusiast, or just looking for a nice place to go sit down and enjoy the sound of running water and nature all around you. The Eno is a must do if youre visiting the city of Durham or if you live here.

West Point is one of my favorite parks and I have a lot of nostalgic memories there!! Theres so much to explore and sennetts hole (turtle hole) is really the best. I cannot recommend the eno and all its parks enough

Great place to enjoy the water with the family. Easy access to the river, ample parking and ok bathrooms.

Always a fun place. Nice trails and views.

Its my first time to West Point on the Eno,total natural area,clear water and green forest.People hiking here and make lots of fun.I will visit here next time during the summer！

Love this place. Lots of storm damage, hope the money can be found for clean up and repairs.

Love this Eno park & all the different folks who go there... Lots of swimming spots & hiking trails.

This park is beautiful. The walking trails are easy for everyone (even toddlers!).

What a place! whenever you need a break from all the noise of the city, come down to the Eno! They have a mill that still runs a garden and even a place to swim. there can be crowds in holiday, but any other day is fine. Id suggest choose to go hiking or go in the water, but if you want to do both bring a change of clothes.

Great place to bring family here!

This is the blacksmith shop where I learned to smith about 38 years ago.

Amazing park to hike, swim, wade, kayak, eat lunch or barbecue. Lots if parking, a historical house/museum thats open for tours, hike through the woods or along the river, lots of places to kick your shoes off and get in and lots of spots deep enough to swim along the trail so you can have the spot essentially to yourself! Gorgeous place for photos and to enjoy a beautiful day!

Awesome place to go swimming on the deep side for adults. Also for kids or those not interested in deep water its a great place to enjoy the shallow water on the other side of the dam. Parking is pretty close too.

The Halloween event was great.

Whole Family went. Had an amazing time in the water on a sunny day. Will go back again. NOTE: make sure to have swimming shoes

Beautiful spot to go and swim...yes swim you can swim behind the dam about 7 1/2 feet at the deepest also a great place to see wildlife I hunt snakes and I go here to find copperheads.....stay away from the reeds also a lot of crawfish and bullfrogs. A wonderfull spot to go fishing as well as treasure hunting found a gold ring here once

Great place to walk your dog. On leash only. The historical points of interest are neat to see and learn about. Just wish they had more dog waste stations to help prevent others from leaving dog pies in the park.

Beautiful, Serene and So Peaceful. An oasis in the city for sure!

Beautiful park. My niece held her wedding there, great venue. Ive also done my daughters senior pictures there as well as a bridal photo shoot. Perfect back drop.

Best park in Durham!!! Great walking paths and areas to cool off in the water

Beautiful place. If you hike far enough you will come up to the turtle hole which is a beautiful place to unwind.

Trails are good, nothing to strenuous. Gave two stars because I travelled all the way across to the way other side of town to mainly show the mill located there and they were closed even though it says open from 1-5pm on Saturdays. Call them if possible before travelling to the Eno Park before going if you want to see the mill. They also have a man made waterfall retainer.

Love the trails. Plan on going back with every one. My family loved it.

Love bringing the dogs here, using trails that go to the swimming hole, rock hopping with my sister, and getting muddy in a good way. Parking areas in middle as well as along gravel access road at various trailheads. I love using the bridge parallel to Roxboro St and heading up to the amphitheater. The annual Festival on the Eno has a great venue here for artists and vendors weve enjoyed in the past. Never been in the museum, but reviews here remind me I should avail myself of the sights and history. West Point on the Eno is a quieter recluse of hiking compared to the Eno River SP, when its southern sister park is overflowing and a respite is needed. The Bo is nearby, so slurp some sweet tea after all that sweaty hiking!

Awesome, Well Maintained Historical Nature Area. The Old Mill and Water Wheel and Dam are Beautiful! The Museum is full of history and Indian Artifacts and the Staff are Passionate about the history and the Natural World surrounding. The trails are super well marked and Maintained. I grew up chasing minnows and tadpoles over 30 years ago, and West Point On the Eno has always been AMAZING for Families....We went to camps, and now My 7yo does...I have been hiking at night with Fantastic Guides, canoeing, and even Birthday parties growing up.Quality Preservation of History and Nature!

Its a great Park, we were there volunteering and picking up garbage.

Great trails to walk, love taking my dog to visit.

Great park with nature trails & waterfalls !

I love this park Always peaceful and plenty of trails plus the water

Great place to take children who love the out doors the sand castle was the best part to me and the views are great also make sure to bring bug repellent lol its a must

Best place to relax and get a piece of mind

Cloudy day but still an enjoyable walk in the park. Lots of sights and space to wander around.

Went to the bobbitt hole. Had a nice walk.

One of the best historic parks to go to in Durham! Plenty of walking trails to explore. Dogs friendly, bring your own poop bags please. You can walk along the river and possibly see some wildlife. Picnic tables located in several places.

This is the kind of public space that every city wishes for, but only a few get. A slow cool river, banked by scenic, easily hiked hills. A historic and functional mill. A zealous citizen support group and a yearly music festival. Truly a green Jewel and an irreplaceable treasure.

Nice place to swim and hike.

Nice place to take a hike.

Relax and great for a picnic anytime

Taste of food batter on fish and shrimp separates from fried fish and and other foods their cooking/ frying is not like the other Mayflowers that Ive visited not crispy or inviting to look at ordered take outs its been awhile since I been there so I gave it one more try not for me waisted money

Visited the park with the love of my life to walk for the first time on any trails since 2006 car accident. Beautiful trails. Clean and clearly marked.

A good opportunity to enjoy a bit of nature within city limits. Cool off in the river or hike one of the many trails. The mountains to sea trail passes right through so no shortage of hiking opportunities.

West Point is a wonderful City Of Durham park. Great place to wade in the river and enjoy the outdoors. Lots of great picnic spots and hiking trails. The annual Festival For The Eno is held here around July 4th and is a great event.

Beautiful place to walk

There are so many different swimming holes!

This location was the venue for the Caribbean Jerk Festival. Its hilly so wearing a comfortable shoes would be great! A lot of parking space.

A beautiful, wooded park that provided the backdrop for mine & my dog, Milos pictures yesterday. On a lovely, pre-summer day around 9 AM, the park wasnt quite busy, but had folks milling about setting up camp. Others were hiking & walking. There are a few old barn-type looking buildings, plenty of picnic tables & a beautiful

Absolutely loved it. Great trails. Interesting history.

One of our favorite places to walk and play in the water.

You get off a busy road and discover quiet and peaceful where you were not expecting it. Great lunch spot and a great festival at the fourth of July! The park has parking, trails, bathrooms,points of interest, The Eno river and other critters besides humans

I found a new watering hole! Its peaceful Quite shallow enough for small children lots of small fish! Water shoes are a must! And towels to dry your feet to climb small hill! The section where I was was a lil muddy ! Hopefully your a nature person! Youll love this place! Pinic table and a water fountain! Enjoy

A perfect place if you want to have a quick run and to get lost in the wilderness.

Beautiful contact with nature

Fun place unless its July 4th and then its really expensive for the same fun stuff.

Basically a dog park these days and ever since the hurricane the lower level is destroyed... absolutely no grass left. As far as the paved walking path is concerned its the shortest in town as it comes to a random end shortly after the bridge. There are some gravel/dirt trails but weve never checked them out...not the safest place in town to go wondering around on hidden trails. Used to be a nice place however, and still has potential.

This was my first visit to West Point on the Eno. We met the man at the Mill, took lots of pictures, and rolled on my rollator across the bridge. We enjoyed it so much we lengthen our stay to do a private Bible study. Thanks for an enjoyable morning!!

Beautiful clear trails

Another great place in Durham to hike and play ukulele! Plus, they have a working freaking gristmill! You can buy grits! What more do you need to know? Get thee to West Point!

It was a pretty decent park, but I went with family on a Saturday and all the bathrooms were locked... Pretty odd for a Saturday...

This is one of the nicest, most interesting parks that I have ever visited! The outbuildings are composed of a working Grist Mill from the 1800s, a photography museum, a blacksmith shop, and the Mangum House. The park is beautiful, the river running through the park is just amazing, and canoeing/kayaking is offered. The Mill offers denonstrations on its operation, which I highly recommend!

Always a beautiful park even if youre just meeting friends for a quick lunch at the picnic tables.

The mill was very neat ..park also has great hiking trails

Great place to take a break from it all in North Durham. Just a short drive from downtown.

Quiet place with a nice stream. Picnic areas

Beautiful park on the Eno River, open spaces, Mill pond, on the North side of Durham. Trails through the woods. Wonderful annual festival.

The west point is one of my favorite local hiking spots. Great trails for diverse hikers and a beautiful river.

Fantastic little park on the eno! The mill is a very cool piece of history and you can even buy corn meal there!

A great place to walk.

Enjoyed The School House of Wonder..Pat was a great tour guide.

Perfect place to fish. Lower down the river also provides for some great kayaking

Great for a school field trip. Lots of nature to wander through. I really love how they try to preserve the natural environment around them. The mill by the river and how its operated is pretty cool. The telling of the Native American and how they survived off the environment was an added plus too. Most of the buildings seem to blend in with the environment around them as they are truly built in among the trees. Awesome Exoerince and great place to take the little ones for an Outdoors Day

I love this park!!

A good place to hike or walk in a outdoor setting. Has places for picnic

Been coming here since I was knee high to a grasshopper! great place for family time or for a romantic picnic with that special someone..very relaxing and clean! during the summer its a great quick escape from the typical lakes and beaches!

The river is a bit smelly and theres lots of mosquitos. Actually getting into the river is treacherous. We went to have a family photo shoot and the embankment is steap and riddled with roots. I fell down it trying to get to the photographer and cut my foot and got my dress dirty. Almost took my 2 year old daughter down with me. Dont try going down it in flip flops. I cant believe how dangerous it was and no warning signs.

Great for outdoor adventures. Picnic tables are available and hiking trails.

Great park, close to the city. Lots of parking, good trails.

Still a great place to visit in the summer heat.

Been going to West Point on The Eno since I was a kid and now I take my kids there. Great trails, great bridge, small waterfall, etc. Just a nice quiet place to spend the day.

Very nice place, enjoyed the history. The guide was amazing. We made like the old days....

Beautiful spot to hike, picnic, or just commune with nature I only wish they had a trail to loop back to the park center on the south side of the river from Guess Rd.

I love this place is beautiful

We went for the first time to visit West Point on the Eno today. We didnt know what to expect but it was wonderful. We did a tour of the house and photography museum and the tour guide was so knowledgeable. I believe they are open on Sat-Sun from 1-5. He said most come for the Mill. I highly recommend you not skip the house or photography museum. So interesting and a lot to see. The museum has so many old photos, two huge old cameras and the okd dark room. The Mill is also neat. What a nice thing to do as a family or like us as a couple. Very enjoyable. We will be back.

Loved going here

Great hiking trail.

A little bit overrated, not very special.There were some trashes in the river.

Beautiful park. Lots of trails and well maintained

Its a park with a historic mill, boat rental (seasonally) and trails. The walking trails are all easy in terms of distance but moderate to challenging in terms of terrain. The further you get from the main part of the park the more difficult the trails can become. This is the city park, not the state, so please be aware. There are public restrooms, picnic pavilions.

Great place to cool off

Beautiful area! Great place to visit.

Really nice trail along the Eno. Many different ground surface types, your feet will be tired. The old pump station is pretty neat if you walk that far.

Its lovely its beautiful and natural stuff like that is needed

One of the places that make Durham wonderful
