Canoeing, Kayaking and Standup Paddleboarding the Lower Eno

Independent Paddling Trips provide the equipment while you provide the adventurous spirit. Its guides will not be on the water for you but will remain on shore to assist you when you need them.

The Lower Eno River joins the Flat River to form the Neuse River (and the headwaters of Falls Lake) in Northern Durham County. Here you can meander through flooded creeks and slip over mudflats. For those that are quiet it is possible to startle a great blue heron or osprey.

Reservation and payment must be made prior to arrival.

Kayaks and standup paddleboards are for single paddlers. Canoes are for two paddlers (with one small adult or child non-paddler in center). Price is per boat.

Trips run 2.5 hours. Come back early if you want – staff are there to assist at any time.

If you would like to add an additional hour to your trip for $10 this is available during registration. 3 p.m. and later times may be available upon request.
