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!

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

Not only is this little stop fun, it is so beautiful to look at! :)
