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.

When you finish sliding down and land in the pool at the bottom is it too deep to stand in? Can you walk through it or do you have to swim part the way?

Swim a couple or three strokes and then you can stand.

Has anyone ever been to Sliding Rock BEFORE Memorial Day? The website says it doesn't open until Memorial day weekend, but I was just wondering if the weather would be decent and if you are "allowed" to experience it before it opens. Thanks!

Response fromqueeni_traveler|

Here is what the website says: "While you can slide anytime year-round during daylight hours, lifeguards are on duty and changing rooms / restrooms are open every day from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day, 10 AM-6 PM. After Labor Day, lifeguards work on weekends through mid-October. Cost to enter the recreation area is $2 per person when staff members are on duty (cash or check). Children 6 and under are free. It is free to visit during "off" hours (but restrooms are closed and...More

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.

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.
