It’s not a 5 because....

We really like slippery and have been twice. The first time was mid-fall and there were no life guards and you couldn’t rent jackets. Honestly, it was probably too cold in the fall but my oldest child who was 7 loved it. Make sure you...More

Cold Water. Great Fun.

Line was long but moved quickly. Water was C.O.L.D. but fun on a hot day. Bathrooms were mostly clean and lots of places to explore the area.

New Years

The water was really high after snow melted and plentiful rainfall. I’m sure in the summertime this is a lot of fun for both adults and children.

Great for fishing, hiking, and waterfalls

Pisgah has many beautiful waterfalls and hikes and some camping opportunities. There were a few picnicking spots along the main road as well. There is a hatchery and wildlife education center. The rhododendrons were beautiful along the water. This is a true gem in the...More

We stopped at Sliding Rock in October and were unable to slide down the rock, as there was no lifeguard but it sure looked fun! Six of us were in the car with two America the Beautiful passes but we were still required to pay...More

Family Camping

We had a great time camping in the Pisgah National Park and my son was the only one brave enough to do sliding rock on this cold day. He said it was refreshing and actually better than doing it on a hot day.

We went in October and the park was closed for sliding down the falls. There was no admissions fee during this time. There is a $3 fee when the slide rock is open and there is a lifeguard on duty. We cannot wait to return...More

Dogs are allowed in the areas surrounding the sliding rock. I stayed with my daughter's dog while he family did the sliding. I don't think that dogs are allowed in the water though.
