If you visit Pisgah National Forest please don't miss Sliding Rock ESPECIALLY if you have kids. I used it as a nice refreshing dip after a long day of hiking. There is a $1.00 entry fee and I imagine it is crowded on weekends. They do have lifeguards on duty during the day. No surprise, the water is COLD! A... More

Good thing to watch. For those who participate its coooold but fun. As I said its a rock so be prepared to come away with a couple bumps or bruises.

It was a real fun to slide on the rock and the boys enjoyed it a lot... it costs only $1 as the entry fee and there is a life guard also. It was a great experience and would love to go there again and recommend to anyone who loves natural fun activities.... it was not crowded so no lines... More

This is the best place to be in the hot summer days. Fun for kids and adoults. Went there with my dad and my kids and everyone ages 2 to 51 enjoyed it. Definately will go again this summer.

We visited the weekend before Memorial Day and it was only in the 60's so there were no "sliders", but it's definitely something we'll go back and do. Really like the fact that there's a lifeguard on duty "in season".

Ok - know first that the water is really really cold coming down the mountain. Know secondly you need to wear a pair of old jean shorts over your swim suit or it will be shredded. This is an all time favorite of my kids. Pack a picnic as there are many picnicing options all around - nature at it's... More

Inside Pisgah National Forest near Asheville, NC is one of Nature's longest water slides. Sliding Rock is a 60 ft slope which drops it's riders into a 6 foot deep frigid pool below. It's an exhilarating ride that will have you clambering out of the 50-60 degree waters as quickly as you can! Are you p for the challenge?

My husband and I went last year. I was weary of it because you have to climb over rocks to get into the line where the railing is. But I was DETERMINED to do it just because of course. My husband being the daredevil of course had no problems and went down screaming like a little girl to joke with... More
