Pisgah National Forest is one of the true treasures of Western North Carolina. Over 500,000 acres of protected mountain forest, with waterfalls, hiking trails, rivers and campgrounds. Ideal for outdoor recreation. The Blue Ridge Parkway runs directly through the forest, making it an excellent place for scenic driving as well. Dupont is closer to Casa Kanuga, but Pisgah offers larger wilderness better suited to backpacking, campgrounds and spectacular views.

Dupont State Forest is close and easily accessible from Hendersonville. Only a 15 min drive from Casa Kanuga, what it lacks in size and elevation compared to Pisgah, it makes up for in utility. With an exceptional collection of waterfalls, rivers, swimming areas, and trails perfectly suited for running, mountain biking and horseback riding - it is a perfect recreational forest.

Entertainment & Activities

Open from late spring to early fall, Green River Cove Tubing and Wilderness Cove Tubing offer one of the best warm-weather activities in the area. Located near the town of Saluda, both businesses run tube rental and bus transportation for 1, 2, and 4 hour floats down the Green River. Interspersed with calm and whitewater stretches, the river provides a perfect mix of relaxation and excitement, as well as gorgeous scenery along the way. Both companies are small, family-run affairs along Green River Cove Road with campgrounds on site, and similar but slightly different experiences. Coming from I-26, Wilderness Cove is arrived at first and Green River Cove second.
