Inside DuPont State Recreational Forest just a short walk from the more popular High Falls is Triple Falls, a 120-foot, multi-cascade waterfall.
DuPont State Forest has a fascinating history. In the year 2000, North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt used his council's power of eminent domain to prevent a real estate development from being established in the middle of the forest, protecting this beautiful, natural gem. The state of North Carolina then acquired the land and has since protected it. Now this waterfall, along with others in the area, have helped to make the park a major natural attraction.
For a closer view of this waterfall, hikers can make their way down the staircase leading from the main trail to a rock plateau. Other waterfalls in the park include High Falls, Hooker Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Grassy Creek Falls. The area is especially beautiful during the fall from late October to early November.
