DuPont State Recreational Forest is a very popular multi-use, bi-directional trail system, so be on the lookout for hikers, horses, and other cyclists. It is normally open in any weather although it can close in extended periods of freeze/thaw during the winter.

Description

Wintergreen Falls begins off of Tarkiln Branch Road and is mostly flat doubletrack until the intersection with Sandy where the trail climbs steeply up to a viewing area of the Wintergreen Falls of Grassy Creek. This is a good spot to take a mid-ride break and cool off in the pools below the falls.
