DuPont State Forest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DuPont State Forest is a 10,000+ acre tract, located in Henderson and Transylvania counties of North Carolina. The name originates from the fact that the DuPont company arranged the sale of the original tract to the state. Portions of the forest formerly conatined a manufacturing facility for the production of photographic film. Adjacent tracts have since been purchased and added to the state forest.
The forest is widely used for many recreational activities, including mountain biking, hiking, swimming, and kayaking.
The forest is home to several magnificent waterfalls, including Bridal Veil Falls and Triple Falls.
