While your there, visit Cedar Creek and Stone Mountain as well. You can also go horseback riding, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, and hiking in the forest.

Get your adrenaline pumping as you race your way down the hills. Feel the wind brush by your face and take in the pure beauty of the forest.

Hiking

Fishing
To fish in DuPont State Forest's streams, you must not only have a regular fishing license, but also a special trout fishing license. You are not allowed to fish within 300 feet of the tops of the waterfalls, and no night fishing is allowed. From June 1 to September 30 are the only times that you may keep trout that you catch.

Hunting
Hunting is allowed in DuPont State Forest, but you must have a permit. When hunting outside the safety zones, you should wear bright colors. You are allowed to hunt turkey, deer, and small game during the appropriate hunting seasons.

Horseback Riding
Many trails in DuPont State Forest are horse friendly. Make sure to check the signs at the beginning of the trail to know what kind of transportation is allowed on the trail. If you bring a horse, make sure that you have recent coggins. You will be asked to leave otherwise.
