Description

Join us for a guided hike along Cabelands Trail while we discuss all the reasons to be thankful for our beautiful Eno! Looking to express some gratitude for the natural world this Thanksgiving season? Join us for a morning spent hiking the beautiful Eno and reflecting on the ways humans have used the river historically, as well as how the Eno continues to benefit humans today! We will visit a few historic structures, such as the Cabe homestead and mill, and tell the stories of indigenous peoples, slaves, and settlers who made the Eno River and surrounding land their home.
