See Sliding Rock

The 60-foot mountain waterslide Sliding Rock is located in the Pisgah National Forest not far from Brevard and Asheville. It ends in an 8-foot-deep pool of water. Each minute, about 11,000 gallons of water flow down the rock.

This natural attraction is especially well-liked in the summer because the water is cool (between 50 and 60 degrees). If you don't feel like sliding down the rock face, there are two observation platforms where you may watch sliders. Lifeguards are on duty from Memorial Day to Labor Day; during the off-season, you can still visit, but be aware that they aren't on patrol.

Explore some of the other surrounding trails and waterfalls that are scattered along U.S. Route 276 (also known as the Forest Heritage National Scenic Byway) after you've cooled off. While the picturesque Looking Glass Falls are 2 miles away along the highway and are easily accessible via an observation deck at the base of the falls, the family-friendly Moore Cove Falls Trail is only a mile away.
