DuPont Fees Draw Fire From Legislators At Meeting
DuPont State Forest access fees sparked opposition from Hendersonville lawmakers. A plan pitched by Jason Guidry proposed $8 weekday and $12 weekend charges at High Falls and Hooker Falls, with $6 at other trailheads and $20 to $30 for buses. An annual pass would cost $30 for residents and $70 for out-of-staters, with a per-person cost estimated at $2.31. Local reps argued residents already pay taxes funding essential services and urged free or discounted access for local residents.
