How was your visit? Are you local to the Triangle area?

Nice video. I live just a few miles from here and always enjoy the park. I was just there last weekend walking the Cole Mill Trail. I always see that tree but I have no idea about how it got there. Seems way too heavy for people to have moved it.

Great - this time of the year (April), the flowers should be blooming. Are they?

@@JourneytoAllNationalParks Yes, the Dogwood and Cherry trees are out, plus the azaleas! The Redbuds have already finished flowering though

Water moved that tree. Those roots on the bank are from a different tree. The Eno is a lazy river most of the time but it rises and floods like any other river. According to the USGS site, at one location they monitor, the river rose from 2ft to 13ft between December 24th and 25th 2020. Where you were standing would have been completely submerged at that point. It might have been the specific storm that moved this tree. Hurricane season can cause some pretty intense flooding around here as well, even this far inland. You'll come across trees like that all over the Eno - that washed down in a storm and came to rest in odd places. Some of the bigger hardwoods will sit there for years until a big enough storm comes along and moves them again. Its one of the charms of a small river. I use them as bridges or places to sit and fish from. Anyway, I hope that solves your mystery. I've got some videos on my channel about the Eno (camping, fishing, kayaking) if your interested. Cool video, keep 'em coming

Thanks for the great information!!! That makes total sense. When it's calm, it's hard to fathom the power of the river when it's high! I will check out the videos!

Hey bud, I'm just checking out this park because there was recently a bigfoot sighting by a man and his daughter that live on the Eno River so I'm looking for a place to camp. Just wanted to give you an idea of what probably moved that tree. The crazy thing is moving trees is something they do. If you dont believe me that ok but we have sightings all over NC all the time and not just NC but almost everywhere.

You sure it wasn't the river when it was rushing after the rain?
