DuPont State Recreational Forest
A state forest with four waterfalls linked by easy trails, including Triple Falls and High Falls, and a filming location for The Hunger Games.
DuPont State Recreational Forest lies southeast of Brevard and contains Hooker Falls, Triple Falls, High Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. From the Hooker Falls parking area, a walk of about 1.5 km brings you to Triple Falls and High Falls, an easy route suitable for families. Triple Falls appeared in The Hunger Games and The Last of the Mohicans. The forest is free to enter and is also a mountain biking hotspot, though parking is tight on weekends. It is about 1 hour's drive from Asheville.
