    Another wonderful walk in the woods

    We stopped in at the visitor center and enjoyed a walk to High Falls, Triple Falls, and the covered bridge. The trail is well maintained and easy to hike. A bit steep in places but easy enough to handle. The views are great.

    Watch your Rear!

    High Falls, Hooker Falls, Triple Falls are all different, all spectacular. As our grandchildren become old enough we take them to DuPont to hike to the falls. They are amazed. Sadly, the trails are a great attraction for the trail bikers who show little regard...More

    North Carolina Hiking trip

    This State park has three impressive waterfalls as part of a 4-5 mile hike. Great photo opportunities. Signage is not real helpful but once you realize you have to cross a bridge and the trail goes under the highway you are on your way.

    Lots of walking trails and beautiful waterfalls

    A beautiful spacious forest with numerous walking trails that are easily accessible and family friendly. There are huge beautiful waterfalls with wading pools and tubing. There is a bit more walking involved but the paths are wide and well maintained.

    Easy and moderate hikes to scenic falls, bring map, no wireless data

    Lots of reviews on how great it is, but the signage is lacking. Download or bring a map as once you are there it’s too late.

    I would say triple falls are optimum for kids to play around and do a little bit of hike as well. Pools are very expansive their with flat rocks to have little bit of picnic as well.

    DuPont State Forest and Pisgah National Forest are less than an hour from Asheville. Both have waterfalls.

    The water is very shallow at Hooker Falls, so you shouldn't have a problem unless you get close to the center of the falls where it is a little deeper. A life vest couldn't hurt, but probably not necessary. You can climb up... More
