After a popular first “Eno-to-Eno Hike,” Durham Parks and Recreation has scheduled a second one for Saturday, Dec. 21, coinciding with the winter solstice.<\/span><\/p>\n The department hosted the first hike on Saturday, Nov. 16, taking participants on an 11-mile trek along the <\/span>Mountains-to-Sea Trail.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The trail spans nearly 1,200 miles, connecting the Tennessee state line to North Carolina\u2019s Outer Banks.<\/span><\/p>\n The hike began at the Pleasant Green entrance of Eno River State Park, with participants embarking on the Laurel Bluffs Trail, a section of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail that runs along the Eno. The trail meandered through the Cabelands section of the park, past the Eno Quarry and the ruins of a mill and homestead. Hikers also crossed the historic Fish Dam Road, a route dating back to the 1600s that connected Indigenous towns.<\/span><\/p>\n After a 4.5-mile journey, the group reached Cole Mill Road for a water break before continuing their hike. The trail led them past the remains of the old Durham Pump Station, the city’s first public water source, and the ruins of Guess Mill. The final stretch of the hike took participants along the opposite side of the Eno River, passing by Sennett’s hole and the chimney of a former home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The second Eno-to-Eno Hike is open to individuals aged 10 and up, and <\/span>pre-registration is required.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Articles in The 10th Street Journal are generated by AI and reviewed by human editors.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After a popular first “Eno-to-Eno Hike,” Durham Parks and Recreation has scheduled a second one for Saturday, Dec. 21, coinciding with the winter solstice.
