Sliding Rock

Are you curious about the experience of sliding down a natural waterslide? Well, in Pisgah National Forest, you can do just that! Sliding Rock is an extraordinary feature of the forest and definitely worth a visit. It’s a unique rock formation that stretches 60 feet long and has a gentle slope. Although it’s technically classified as a waterfall, instead of cascading into a pool below like traditional waterfalls, the water gracefully glides down the rock and smoothly pours into a 7-foot deep pool. This makes Sliding Rock an ideal spot for enjoying some water sliding fun! Many people come to Pisgah National Forest specifically to wait in line and take turns experiencing this exciting natural wonder.
