This is on my bucket list for this summer!!  I have always wanted to go and have many friends who go frequently and love it.  Sliding Rock is a 60' natural rock slide with a 6-7 foot deep pool at the base - perfect for you folks looking for a waterfall to slide down. The slide is a Forest Service recreation area with lifeguards and staff are on duty from Memorial Day week end through Labor Day weekend.  The fee to slide is $2.00.  Parking is somewhat limited, so go early if you can. It will be crowded on a summer week end. I think kids have to be a certain size to slide alone, but can sit on the lap of an adult. There are bathrooms which are open in season. Sliding Rock is located in the Pisgah National Forest near Brevard and Asheville, NC. For more info, call the US Forest Service at 828-877-3350.
