Want an experience that literally takes your breath away, then slide down this rock outcropping into the icy pool at the bottom. In the summer, busloads of area camps bring the kids for just such a thrill. Gasp! More

Sliding rock is natures water park! There is no charge for the attraction, which is in Pisgah National Forest, however there is a charge for parking. This is a very popular attraction. No matter how old you are, you should do this at least once. Don't be embarrassed because people of all ages slide. And you'll probably never see these... More

When we took the grandkids in 2011 June, there was no charge!! 2 hours of fun for free!! Fairly crowded but all kids were polite and took turns without direction. Adults can go too. The dogs can't go on the rock but they are allowed to sit with the old folks. Dressing rooms available. Water very cold. Worth going. There... More

We have gone to Sliding Rock since that's all it was: a huge rock in the river that we could slide down. Now it is developed and has a fee, but it still beats the super-developed and very commercial water slides. Not for the little ones who cannot swim. More

Both young and old were able to successfully navigate the dry area of rocks to get to the top for a fun ride down. Watching where others depart from will help you select the best place for yourself to use. The temperature of the water, even in June, is cold enough to make you notice -- the hotter the day... More

Very cold water. People line up to slide down the giant smooth rock...clothes or bathing suits. Adults and kids bounce down the rock into the pool at the bottom. Fun to watch first timers go down the rock. More

Whenever we have visitors under 20 this is the summer spot to bring them to. The slide down the rocks ...the icy mountain stream waters and the laughter are so worth it More
