Kings Highway Park

Great “get-away” spot on the Eno River for kayaking or canoeing. If your timing is right, you might see Amtrack or a freight train pass overhead. About a 100 yd. walk from the parking lot to the kayak launch. Two river options upstream.

We use this park to access the Eno for kayaking. There is a very accessible kayak access launch. Beautiful paddle along the river in either direction (need to portage around the dam if heading to town)

FYI this is not a park with playground equipment or for sports. It is just a few quiet trails along the river. It covers a few acres. Great for a quick walk and a picnic.

A few short trails, some great fishing, a wonderful old bridge and the old carriage road to Salisbury. Parking is p5retty limited, but the good news is not many people visit, so its never a problem. trails are easy and well maintained. Head to the North side of Ben Johnson rd and you'll find the better trails and a bench nicely situated for watching the water and the wonderful old deck truss railroad bridge thats over 150 years old - watch it rumble as modern Amtrack and freight trails roll overhead!
