Sliding Rock - Pisgah National Forest

7559 Pisgah Hwy, Pisgah Forest, NC 28768· $· 10am–6pm (seasonal, May–Sep)

Steve’s take

A sixty-foot natural rock waterslide into a pool of mountain water so cold it'll reset your entire nervous system. Your kids will scream, slide, climb back up, and do it again forty times while you sit on the observation deck wondering why you didn't bring a towel. Sliding Rock is about thirty minutes off I-26 in the Pisgah National Forest. In summer, this is the stop your kids will talk about for the rest of their lives. Bring water shoes.
