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, NC) by 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.

Studio 52 is seeking a diverse group of young singers between the ages of 8-18 to be featured in an upcoming virtual performance! Virtual rehearsals will take place on Zoom on Wednesdays, April 14, 21, and 28 from 7:15 – 8:15 PM EST. To join the choir, please fill out the form linked below by Friday, April 9.
Singers must attend all rehearsals and memorize 2-3 musical theatre songs. Following rehearsals, choir members will be asked to submit a video of their songs. Singers will need access to reliable internet, headphones, and a device to film (smart phones work best.) These videos will be edited together and presented in a virtual cabaret in early June celebrating young artists and benefitting Flat Rock Playhouse.
The choir will be directed by Director of Education Anna Kimmell and Music Directed by Artistic Associate Matthew Glover. No auditions are necessary. Former, current, and future Studio 52 participants or any young person who loves singing are welcome to participate! A Studio 52 staff member will then be in touch with more information, music, listening tracks, and Zoom links.
Hike with a llama on our private trails and enjoy mountaintop views at Earthshine Lodge! All ages.
Enjoy a one-of-a-kind hike in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains with our friendly llamas! Hikers will learn about our famous llamas’ interesting histories and how to safely handle the animals before heading out on a hike with gorgeous mountaintop views on our private trails.
Each family/group gets 1 to 3 lovable llamas to share and there’s plenty of time for llama cuddles and, of course, llama selfies! This moderate hike is around 1 mile long and does require requires walking uphill on rocky and sometimes slippery terrain. This experience lasts approximately an hour and a half.
Reservations required to reserve your spot on the hike. We need a minimum of 4 hikers to book and may contact you about rescheduling if we do not have enough bookings. We welcome all ages on our llama hikes, and children 5 and under are free. When you make your reservation, please let us know if you have anyone under that age.
We meet at the parking area of the French Broad River. We leave for the hike no later than 9:10 a.m. and hike 2.5 miles on the MTS trail and back for a total 5 miles hike. We walk at a pretty swift pace (2.7 to 3 mph). Hike is designed for fitness and conversation. We don’t take a break until we reach the turn around point, then we stop for brief water break. We repeat this hike on Friday. Then move on with our regular rotation of hikes.
Hikers who are new to hiking will likely be more comfortable on another meet up hike designed for people who are just beginning hiking or trying to get into shape for hiking. You might consider “WNC Easy Hikers Group,” for instance.
We meet at the parking area of the French Broad River off of Brevard Road. Coming from Asheville, go through the light at the arboretum intersection and you will see the parking area almost immediately on your left. We leave no later than 9:10 a.m. I think this is called the Brent Creek River Park.
