Penny's Bend

I like this location very much. It's not a large nature preserve, but it doesn't have to be. Locals have been enjoying fishing and walking here for quite a while. You are bound to catch a sunfish or two and enjoy the quiet of the woods. It's usually not too busy and remains beautiful all year round. Parking is right off of Old Oxford Rd, and admission is free. It is relatively rugged on some parts and has a more natural feel that is hard to find on pristinely maintained trails. You might run into some overgrowth or a wrapper along the way, but that can't beat how peaceful and rejuvenating it is to walk here, even for just 10 minutes.

We had a great walk here. Can't wait to come back and try the interior trail.

Lot small, trails not busy so expect to be webbed. Beautiful place

Lovely park. One of few in Durham that actually has open space (field/grassland) . This stretch of Eno is also wider than others (the river is wider, the trees around it are more sparse). Walking around the bend in the river is a great idea for a park.

Lovely little spot. While there we cleaned up a bunch of trash and had to take it with us because there are no garbage cans.
