Little (Eno trib)

It is possible to run the gorge and carry back to the put-in. There is a goat trail on river left, at the last rapid with the rock wall on the right, that leads you up along the ridge back to Johnson Mill Rd. I have done it once. It's about a twenty minute hike. Not particularly enjoyable but very doable.

Actually, the trail is on river right and you can access it after the bottom of the second big drop from the big eddy. It is a fairly straight forward hike back up the river with some houses on your left. If the river is running really high, the trail will be under water. It is not uncommon for local boaters to get in a bunch of laps without even going to the take-out!
