| West
Point on the Eno |
|
West Point on the Eno,
a natural and historic city park, is located along a two-mile
stretch of the Eno River in Durham. The 388 acres of woods,
waters, and wildlife have changed little in the centuries
since this area was the home of the Shocco and Eno Indians.
This scenic park is home to the West Point Mill and other
historic buildings which we will be touring as well as
established trails along the river. These trails contain
some rocky terrain with variety of ferns, flowers and
shrubs indigenous to the mountains. Please bring a lunch
to enjoy!

Evening Frog Walk |
|
This summer
walk along the American Tobacco Trail will find us listening
for the mating calls of various frogs and toads of North
Carolina as they begin their evening chorus. Keep your
ears open for the deep "Jug O' Rum" of the bullfrog
and the plaintive "Wahhh" of the Fowler's toad.
We will also enjoy the beautiful sunset and the last birdsong
of the night on this flat trail on high ground. We will
travel by van to the New Hill-Olive Chapel trailhead.
