Du Pont State Forest, Brevard, North Carolina

Day Use Only

Nearly 100 miles of multi-use trails and roads thread through the forest. The forest is widely used for many recreational activities, including mountain biking, hiking, swimming, and kayaking. Destinations include mountaintop views (such as Cedar Rock Mountain), pristine lakes (such as Lake Imaging, Lake Julia, Lake Dense, and Fawn Lake), and several magnificent waterfalls,

All trails are open to horses except for Triple Falls Trail past the picnic shelter and a few foot trails that are clearly marked. Equestrians are asked to keep their horses at least 50 ft. from picnic shelters and other structures. Tie-outs for horses are provided near the waterfalls and other points of interest.

The two best parking lots for horse trailers are the Lake Imaging Parking Lot, located on DuPont/Staton Road 1/2 mile north of Hooker Falls Access Area; and the Guion Farm Parking Lot, located on Sky Valley Road. All parking lots are open to horse trailers, but the use of Hooker Falls and Buck Forest Access Areas is discouraged, because they are smaller and can be very crowded on weekends.
