LitCafe Experiences: DuPont Forest History Hike w/ Danny Bernstein
Mar 20 @ 8:20 am – 2:30 pm
Transylvania County Library 

What is an airstrip doing in the middle of DuPont State Recreational Forest? Why the formal entrance into a state forest? And how did the lakes come to be?

Come on a moderate all-day hike through historic DuPont Forest where we will walk, talk, take photos and even speculate. DuPont Forest is in Cedar Mountain, located between Hendersonville and Brevard. We will visit Bridal Veil Falls and four lakes. Although the hike focuses on DuPont Forest history, we might see some early spring flowers and buds.

Here are the details:

  • The hike is 7.5 miles and about 800 feet of altitude gain over the day. The trails are well-maintained but will be muddy and rocky.
  • Meet at the Transylvania County Library (212 S Gaston St, Brevard, NCby 8:20am. We will depart from there in a caravan and arrive at the Fawn Lake Access Area of DuPont just before 9am.
  • Wear light boots or good sneakers with hiking sock, a rain jacket (no matter the weather forecast) and a couple of layers of warm clothing – a long sleeve shirt and a fleece.
  • Bring lunch and snacks and at least one quart of water – two pints. Water will not be available  on the hike.
  • There are no toilets in the forest. We will stop several times for trail breaks in the woods. There is also no cell service in the area including the forest.
  • Note: For liability reasons, no dogs are allowed on this hike.
