DuPont Bike Retreat is located 1/4 mile from the Fawn Lake Access area into DuPont State Forest. The DBR is 37 acres and has a pond with a dock and numerous camping sites available. The property used to hold Glass Feather Studio, which was a glass art studio and is now Glass Feather Lodge. The mountain view from the indoor porch is amazing and there are several places to relax and enjoy this view. There is an outdoor shower and bike wash station behind the lodge and two indoor bathrooms (one with shower) off the porch. The lower Pond Area of the property has a port-a-john near the pond. Starter bundles of firewood are included, and additional can usually be purchased on-site. Come enjoy the forest straight from your campsite!

We Love Dupont bike retreat! It’s the perfect spot to dive in and do some gravel or mountain biking at Dupont. Will definitely be back!

Nice and safe spot, best for bikers

Todd was incredibly helpful when we arrived to address our concerns, and we had a wonderful time! Some advice: before booking it is good to explore the map as there is some distance between sites on the hill and down by the pond. We stayed at size #8, it was a nice but little too far down the steep hill and isolated from a toilet and water--which was important as we had some younger children. The upper lounge area in unique with a gorgeous view, toilets and warm shower, back side hot tub and a firepit is great after a long day of hiking or a biking. Or to start your day... Thank you for sharing your beautiful land with us, and for your hospitality and trust!
