4.Sliding Rock, Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina
You’ll find Sliding Rock less than an hour from Asheville. It’s an exciting 60-foot natural “Slip ’N Slide” that propels people into a seven-foot-deep pool.
The slide is actually open all year long during daylight hours, but who wants to brave the cold water in the winter? It’s most popular between late May through September. Business hours are from 10 am to 6 pm. There is a $2.00 admission charge. Lifeguards are on duty.
5.White Oak Canyon, Robertson, Virginia
White Oak Canyon is located in Shenandoah National Park, in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Hike the two-mail Cedar Run Trail to the five natural waterslides known as Cedar Run Falls. The first chute you encounter is good for kids. The larger slides are beyond that. You can also visit the White Oak Falls if you backtrack to the popular Cedar Run link trail. Swimming isn’t allowed there but they’re still impressive.
