The DuPont Forest in North Carolina is know for many things. It was the spot where many scenes in the 2012 box office hit “The Hunger Games” was filmed. It’s where many popular waterfalls can be found, such as Bridal Veil Falls, Hooker Falls, and Triple Falls, to name only a few. And it’s where adventurers can explore nearly 85 miles of trails carved into the flora of the old forest. Another thing adventurers can find in DuPont Forest? An old airport in North Carolina with a landing strip that’s close to half a mile long!
Hop on the moderately rated 5.2-mile trail known as the Reasonover Creek Trail and explore the the landing strip as well as two beautiful mountain lakes and the picturesque Reasonover Creek.
At 5.2 miles, this trail could potentially take up a morning or an afternoon, depending upon how much you stop to admire the scenery. Typically, it can be hiked in well under three hours.
On it, you'll traverse through canopies of hardwoods and also find yourself exposed out in the open underneath the summer sun, so bring sunscreen and plenty of water.
Together, these two mountain lakes and the old landing strip make an adventure worthy of a morning or an afternoon.
