DuPont State Forest, Protected forest in Henderson and Transylvania Counties, North Carolina
The DuPont State Forest encompasses 12,500 acres of land with waterfalls, hardwood forests, open fields, and a network of intersecting trails.
The land transformed from an X-ray film manufacturing site to a state forest when DuPont Company arranged the sale to North Carolina in 1996.
The forest served as a filming location for major motion pictures, including The Last of the Mohicans in 1992 and The Hunger Games in 2012.
Visitors access 83 miles of multi-use trails for mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, swimming at designated areas, and kayaking throughout the seasons.
The forest contains several cascading water features, including Hooker Falls, Triple Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls, connected by an extensive trail system.
