Dupont State Forest

Image
Earlier this week I visited Dupont State Forest , a 10,000 plus acre recreational area near Cedar Mountain, North Carolina. I've been to the park several times in the past few years to see Hooker Falls , Triple Falls , and High Falls . This time, I chose to visit High Falls (since it's on the way) and three waterfalls I've never been to: Grassy Creek Falls , Bridal Veil Falls , and Wintergreen Falls . High Falls, Grassy Creek Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls are all accessible from the High Falls access area . On the day I arrived, the winds were rather gusty at the elevation of the access area, and showers were expected late in the day. Even on a weekday, plenty of cars and trucks were parked in the access area. This bathroom facility is new to me. A welcome enter is under construction and is expected to open in July. This log building was only partially finished by a private developer when the state took over the land in 2000. A photo and history of the building can be found
