The Little River Regional Park and Natural Area is a cooperative project between Durham and Orange Counties, funded equally by both, with major assistance from the Triangle Land Conservancy, Eno River Association, NC Clean Water Management Trust Fund, NC Parks and Recreation Trust Fund, and the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The Little River Regional Park brings visitors up close with the best of the Piedmont’s environment and natural resources.

Gates to the park are locked once the park is closed.

The park entrance area is located on former tobacco fields. Visitors are welcome to make use of environmental education materials in the park office. Picnic tables, grills, and waste bins are located at the two large shelters for your comfort. Individual picnic areas can be found around the handicapped accessible interpretive loop trail, which brings the natural experience of the park within easy reach of the parking area. The open meadow, dotted with bluebird houses, provides a place to relax or throw a frisbee, while the playground offers active recreation for kids. Restroom facilities are located next to the meadow-side picnic shelter.

Over seven miles of hiking trails are available in the park. Hikers are encouraged to carry water, and choose a route that fits their physical abilities. The mountain bike trails are specially designed to prevent erosion and maintain stream and river water quality. Bikers are asked to remain on posted mountain bike trails at all times.
