About this specific location
Nearby Sliding Rock is not your average swimming hole.
Located in Pisgah National Forest near Brevard, this natural rock slide sends you 60 feet down into a 7-foot-deep pool. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Forest Service lifeguards watch as mountain water carries riders down the rock.
Not in the right gear to slide? Watching from the observation decks is part of the fun. Just be sure to stick to the trails and follow the Outdoor NC Leave No Trace Principles as you explore this uniquely wild waterpark.

You'll need 6684 to open the container.
Permission for placement of this cache is granted by Pisgah National Forest Realty Specialist.
