DuPont State Recreational Forest, commonly known as DuPont Forest, is a 12,500-acre (51 km2)[1][/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont_State_Forest#cite_note-ForestOverview-3][3][/url] state forest, located in [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henderson_County,_North_Carolina]Henderson[/url] and [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transylvania_County,_North_Carolina]Transylvania[/url] counties of North Carolina. The name originates from the fact that the DuPont company arranged the sale of the original tract to the state.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont_State_Forest#cite_note-HelsleyJones2007-2][2][/url] Adjacent tracts have since been purchased and added to the state forest. Portions of the forest formerly contained a manufacturing facility for the production of X-ray film.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont_State_Forest#cite_note-HelsleyJones2007-2][2][/url] The forest was used to shoot scenes from the 1992 film The Last of the Mohicans as well as the 2012 box office hit The Hunger Games.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont_State_Forest#cite_note-4][4][/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont_State_Forest#cite_note-5][5][/url] On February 12, 2019, the forest added 402 acres (1.63 km2) from Conserving Carolina, part of a section called the Continental Divide Tract that connects with other public lands. 314 more acres will be added to the forest by the end of 2019.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont_State_Forest#cite_note-6][6]
