Welcome to Lyons

Lyons is a small, unincorporated community located in Durham County, North Carolina. Despite its size, Lyons has a rich history and a strong sense of community. The area was originally settled by European immigrants in the late 19th century, and many of the original homes and buildings still stand today. Lyons is known for its beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and lush forests that provide a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the most notable features of Lyons is its proximity to the Eno River State Park. The park is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering hiking trails, fishing spots, and picnic areas. The park is also home to the historic West Point Mill, which was built in the early 1800s and served as a gristmill for over a century. Today, the mill is a popular spot for visitors to learn about the history of the area and enjoy the scenic beauty of the Eno River.

Despite its rural location, Lyons is just a short drive from the city of Durham. Durham is home to a thriving arts and culture scene, with numerous museums, galleries, and theaters. The city is also known for its world-class dining and craft beer scene, with many local restaurants and breweries offering unique and delicious cuisine. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat in the countryside or a vibrant city experience, Lyons is the perfect place to call home.
