The single track section of Barn Trail is closed for repair. For your safety, we ask that you respect all trail closure signs and choose a different trail for your visit to DuPont State Recreational Forest.

Portions of High Falls Loop will be closed for repairs January 23-27. To protect visitor and worker safety, visitors are asked to respect the trail closure and comply with all trail closure signs .

During the closure, visitors who would like to view waterfalls can access Triple Falls from the Hooker Falls Access Area and can view High Falls from the High Falls picnic shelter. Hooker Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Wintergreen Falls will not be impacted by this closure.

ADVISORY: In response to poor trail conditions from freeze-thaw weather, to prevent additional damage, and to protect recent trail work, officials at DuPont State Recreational Forest (DSRF) have extended the Trail Advisory issued earlier this week. Please enjoy the gravel roads and double track trails but avoid all single-track trails.

FULL CLOSURE: Exceptionally poor conditions on Ridgeline Trail, Jim Branch Trail, and Reasonover Creek Trail have led forest officials to impose a full closure of those three trails.

Visitors should expect very wet conditions throughout the forest and should respect all trail closure signage and barricades.

The advisory and closure will be lifted as soon as trail conditions improve. Check this website or the NC Forest Service’s Twitter and Facebook pages for updates to this Trail Advisory and Closure announcement.
