It gave its name to the town Ennepetal, and the district Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis.
The Ennepe begins in the Märkischer Kreis southeast of Halver, at 422 m above sea level, and continues to the Ennepetalsperre [3](reservoir, 307 m above sea level).
The river flows through Ennepetal, Gevelsberg, and the western boroughs of Hagen.
It flows into the Volme, near Hagen Central Station (elevation: 99 m above sea level).
Parts of the river are canalized.
The Ennepe provides habitat for numerous animal and plant types.
Among are fishes, the grey heron, neophyte plants, and Orange Jewelweed[verification needed] (Impatiens capensis, in Hagen).
In the pre-industrial age, several mills were built alongside the river.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, several small iron plants were operated there.
