Exploring the

LITTLE RIVER BASIN

Learn about the historical, cultural, and environmental features of the Little River Basin in Durham and Orange counties. Join the Eno River Association for a driving tour of the Little River Basin in Durham and Orange counties. Not only is the basin an important source of water for Durham and Raleigh, but it is also a rich source of history and culture. The Eno River Association has sponsored several activities to focus attention on the Little River Basin. It is our hope that greater appreciation of the value of the basin will generate greater public support for its protection.
