Dupont State Forest Waterfalls:
Hooker Falls, Triple Falls, and High Falls

Summer 2011, proved to be a year that would further popularize this enchanted forest. It was during that time that filming of the now, world famous movie, The Hunger Games, was filmed in the area.

The forest is located between Hendersonville and Brevard, and certainly has one of the best waterfalls in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hooker Falls, Triple Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls were in the Last of the Mohicans. Other falls include, Grassy Creek, High, and Winter Green.

Bridal Veil Fall is extremely beautiful, but also dangerous to get to. The hike to it is not too bad, moderate to difficult. However, if wishing to walk under it or out to it, please be careful. It is located along bedrock, and it is not recommended to walk to it (especially for families with young children). 

Triple Falls is truly unique. It is literally three waterfalls in a row, off centered from each other. It is not recommended to climb the levels, but it is nice to just step out from the trail and take a quick picture or sit down on the dry rock (climbing and getting on wet rock is not a good idea).

The photo on the right was taken at the bottom of the stairs, leading to an area that is okay to walk on at Triple Falls (watch kids at all times). In the hot months, people can be seen laying out on the rocks.

The top photograph is of High Falls, made even more famous by The Hunger Games. The hike is mainly up hill, but it is very kid friendly. At the top is a covered bridge. Looking down from the bridge, one can see fish trying to swim up stream.

Another waterfall that is worth checking out is Hooker Falls. It is easily accessible from the Hooker Falls parking area. Last summer, we witnessed kayakers taking turns going down the falls (not recommended). It is quiet, and another place people can be found enjoying some sun in the summer.

This is a must visit for any tourist. These waterfalls are absolutely amazing, and a great show of nature.
