Channing Hubbard retired as Property Manager for the Dupont
Plant in 1991. Having managed the property when it was not
open to public, it was always a tremendous pleasure to share
it with plant visitors. His family enjoyed many years of
camping, 4 wheeling, and hiking on the property. Olivia
enjoyed these times as well. Now, being open to the public,
the property is accessible only on foot, bike or horse.
Not to be partial, but on horseback is our pick for the
most relaxing way to view the forest and multiple waterfalls
throughout.
Trail rides are available year round weather permitting.
We are willing to customize a trail ride for time and experience,
but these are a few suggestions:
Wrangler Adventure: A 1 to 2 hour trail ride beginning
at the farm and accessing the Dupont Forest by way of the
Guion Trail. This adventure is $30 per person per hour.
Buck Forest Explorer: A 3 to 4 hour ride
through the scenic trails of the forest. Together we can
plan our ride to see points of interest. This longer ride
is discounted to $27 per person per hour.
A Day at Dupont: The seemingly endless trails,
waterfalls, and scenic overlooks can easily make a full
day of adventure. We can pack a lunch and enjoy a day of
horseback riding at Dupont Forest. Trails rides lasting
more than 4 hours are $25 per person per hour.
Rules for the Dupont Forest must be followed. Please see
