In 1966, the Eno River Association was formed by a small citizen-led resistance effort to confront the city of Durham's plan to dam the Eno River and create a water supply reservoir. Public outreach and organized lobbying for environmental protections accompanied political action to put the Eno in the public eye. Through fundraising and land acquisition, the Eno River Association helped form the first boundaries of Eno River State Park as well as five other riverfront parks in Durham and Orange
