Sliding Rock, Pisgah National Forest

US-276, Pisgah Forest, NC

Located in Western North Carolina, the Pisgah National Forest is a treasure trove of picturesque waterfalls and swimming holes nestled in protected forestry land. One of our favorite points of interest in the Forest is Sliding Roc k, a natural waterslide and plunge pool that draws visitors from May to September. With a gentle slope, a length of sixty-feet and a 7-foot deep pool of bracingly cold water at the base, locals and tourists flock here in the summer months to take a dip, hike the area trails, or picnic and hang out. Admission to the slide is $2 per person and lifeguards are on duty from 10:00AM - 6:00PM.
