DuPont State Forest
DuPont State Forest
is a 10,000 acre (40 km²) 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.

The forest is widely used for many recreational activities, including mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, swimming (where permitted), wading, 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, including:
