Driving Tips and Other Information
 |
DuPont State Recreational Forest is an
outdoors-lover's dream with many waterfalls and 86 miles of trails
on protected 10,000 acres. Located between Brevard and
Hendersonville. Most visitors flock to the three-mile roundtrip
hike to three waterfalls ( High Falls, Triple and Hooker Falls, but
there's so much more to explore! |
|
|
Ideally, the best way to see the
three falls is to take two cars. Park one car in the Hooker
Falls Parking lot and the second car in the Visitors Center Parking
Lot. That way, you will not have to back tract. |
|
|
Start your hike from the Visitors
Center Parking lot (mostly down hill). - You will come to High Falls first - Continuing you will come to Triple Falls - Continuing on, you will cross a bridge into the Hooker Parking Lot - Follow the trail from the Parking lot to Hooker Falls (about .04 mile) |
