Sliding Rock is located under an hour out of Asheville. It’s a 60-foot long mountain “Slip ’N Slide” found in the Pisgah National Forest that will send you sliding down into a pool of almost eight feet of water. The slide is open daily. 10 am to 6 pm, to the public. Unfortunately, the water is never more than 60 degrees Fahrenheit so your best bet is between May and September. Lifeguards are on duty. Admission is $2.00.
