Sometimes I think DuPont State Forest is a very well-kept secret just for the folks in Transylvania as well as Henderson County to enjoy - Our own Camelot.   What one finds here in this forest is an abundant displays of nature that fill your senses with complete awe.

I have been told it would be all right to let you see a couple of the waterfalls you can experience here at DuPont and I’ll give you the link to the Friends of DuPont Official Website at the end of this blog.

It’s an amazing place for hiking, biking — and yes, you can even bring your horse.

The photo is Triple falls - and the information from the DuPont site is as follows:

The two largest and most popular waterfalls are accessed by walking upstream of the popular Hooker Falls parking lot on Staton Road. Triple Falls is about a 7 minute walk upstream, though the main trail is quite steep as you approach the falls. And this photo was used by Friends of the Falls to convince Governor Hunt and the Council of State to protect the waterfalls of the Little River from private residential development.

Let’s try for one more waterfall and then I’ll let you discover the other amenities of this incredible place through the website.

Here you have Bridal Veil Falls - unbelievable isn’t it?  You need to take a drive and come this one as well as the others in person.

The first falls of the Little River, Bridal Veil is probably the most unique. First, it drops off an overhanging ledge which allows visitors to walk underneath (as shown in Last of the Mohicans). Then the water sheets down a long, shallow inclined plane of granite before tumbling into the pool below.

This view of lower Bridal Veil Falls was virtually never seen until a new trail was put in during 2000. Photo courtesy: Jeff Jenning.
