Tater Knob or Gilbert's rock, a nice view of Walnut cove. Blueberries are plentifull in June.
Gilbert's Rock
Secret Waterfall
One of the most unique places in the Dupont State Forest.
This place makes you feel like your on some exotic island in the southern hemisphere. A must visit!
It has its own sandy beach that will beg you to kick off your shoes and relax.
Mt. Mitchell
Mount Mitchell is the highest peak east of the Mississippi! We went into that part of the forest looking for Indian pipe but no luck. Instead we found some healthy Wild Bergamot.
The creeks in this area are absolutely breath taking!
The forest is so diverse in this part of the Appalachians.
