While beginners are welcome, having a basic understanding of steering a canoe or kayak will enhance your enjoyment and safety.
Water shoes or sandals with good grip will protect your feet during launch and landing on uneven riverbanks.
Trips can be cancelled in cases of high winds, thunderstorms, or extreme water levels—review conditions before arrival.
Children under six are not permitted; minors must be accompanied by an adult with a 1:1 ratio for those under 18.
The Eno River was originally home to the Eno tribe and has been preserved through long-standing conservation efforts since the 1970s.
Frog Hollow and local partners promote Leave No Trace principles, helping protect the river's fragile ecosystems and water quality.
