| Tour de Falls | ||
| Friends of DuPont Forest will sponsor Tour de Falls, a 12 mile tour by shuttle bus to four of DuPont State Forest's spectacular sites: Triple Falls, High Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Lake Julia. The Tour will take place on Saturday, October 16 and Sunday, October 17. Shuttle buses will leave the parking area from 9 am until 3 pm. Visitors may get off the bus at each stop to take photos and explore the area. Three of the sites have shelters with picnic tables and benches.
Visitors are encouraged to bring their cameras and take short hikes to enjoy the beauty of the falls and lake, all of which provide scenic backdrops for family photos. FODF will have volunteer members on each bus and at the four stops to provide information about the history of the area and current efforts to protect both the historical and natural resources within this 10,400 acre forest. Refreshments will be served in the rustic lodge overlooking Lake Julia, which is the last stop on the tour.
DuPont State Forest is located in both Henderson and Transylvania counties in the mountains of western North Carolina. The parking lot for the tour is located at 1300 Staton Road (N35.11.356', W082.37.425') in Cedar Mountain, NC, which is just up the road from the High Falls access area. Advance reservations are not taken. A $10 per person donation by cash or check is requested. Credit cards are not accepted. The Tour generally takes about 2 hours, depending on how long participants choose to spend at each stop. Buses are not handicap-accessible. A limited number of visitors with handicap permits for their private vehicle will be given permission to follow one of the tour buses. Please call the forest supervisor's office in advance (828-877-6527) to obtain a permit to drive in the forest. Dogs are not allowed on the buses.
Friends of DuPont Forest is a non-profit organization that works to enrich the recreational experience and preserve the natural resources in the 10,400 acres of DuPont State Forest. The Tour de Falls weekend is intended to provide families and those with limited hiking abilities a chance to see the beauty of one of North Carolina's most visited forests and some of the most spectacular waterfalls in the Southeast. FODF uses funds from this event to finance construction projects such as the staircase to Triple Falls, shelters and picnic tables at High and Triple Falls, and the viewing area at Bridal Veil Falls and to support research and educational projects focused on natural resources with the forest, including rare and endangered species.
