Protecting the Eno River Corridor & Creating a New Gateway to the NC Mountains-to-Sea Trail
Eno River Association, Durham, NC
This project secures the last unprotected river buffer from the Orange County line at Pleasant Green Road for 4.5 miles to the Eno River State Park’s current northwest boundary. It protects water quality and creates a new gateway for the park and the NC Mountains-to-Sea Trail.
Counties Impacted:
- Durham
- Orange County
By filling a gap in the buffered protection of the Eno River, this project protects drinking water for Durham, Raleigh and other towns which rely on Falls Lake for their drinking water. This easement project also closes a critical gap in the route of the NC Mountains-to Sea Trail along the Eno River.
