On Saturday October 18, 2025, Friends of DuPont Forest will host the 8th annual DuPont Forest Festival, an event celebrating the adventure and beauty of DuPont State Recreational Forest. Join us from 10am to 3pm at the Guion Access Area for this free event.

The DuPont Forest Festival is a free, family friendly event open to the public. It is hosted by Friends of DuPont Forest and sponsored by Allen Tate/Beverly-Hanks and Cognative MTB.

The DuPont Forest Festival is a celebration of all the adventure and history found in DuPont State Forest. We’ll have a mix of drop-in activities, demonstrations, group tours, and hikes, all perfect for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages. Our number one goal for the Forest Festival is to teach people to love the Forest. Along with having fun, the activities will weave in education about reducing impacts to the Forest, waterfall safety, trails that serve multiple types of recreationalists and Forest conservation. Each event will be led by an expert volunteer and representative from our partner organizations.
