Sunday, I was 82 years of age and today I stumbled while on line to find this jewel of sliding rock. I grew up living near Pisgah National Forest and we slid on this rock 70+ years ago. It was before any handrails or platform viewing areas. We camped in various camp grounds in the forest and walked through woods to the creek and the sliding rock. So many wonderful memories. Thanks for posting this. A native North Caolinian from Asheville.
There is truly no place like home!
You still alive and healthy?
Did you make it to 87?
How are you doing?❤️
No place on earth more special than these southern mtns. ❤
Broke my finger on this thing over the weekend. Worth it.
Brings back a lot of memories i used to live in North Carolina when I was ten I am now 29 I miss that place
I'm 52....about 30 years ago, I went down, on a dare, in the middle of January, with snow on the ground..only to discover, when I got out of the water, that the changing rooms/restrooms, were CLOSED...had to change in the car, with the heater going as hard as it could....
My wife and I visited NC and were luckily enough to stop here. Great times!
it's been 30+ years since i was a Camp Crestridge for Girls camper and the many great trips we took from there are unforgettable. but Sliding Rock... i'll never, ever get over that cold. and it was August! the whole experience of it was just a bit traumatizing. incomparable fun though!
Spent a few summers camping in the Smokies and Myrtle Beach as a child. One of my absolute favorite (natural) rides was Sliding Rock❤
Great video. I am going to have to go visit this place.
I used to live in Brevard. It's like the cutest town ever!
I lived there 20 years ago and loved the area. It had one of the platforms at the time I think but no lifeguards and certainly never any lines for sliding!
i lived there 40 years ago and yeah, no lines ... also no platform. good times!!
remember it well.
I went there a few times in the 90s. Fun as hell and the rock is smooth but damn that water is cooooold lol
Mikey, you want to go down the road named whitepines, or headwater. It is a dirt road, and you can throw a tent up almost anywhere there. Have fun!
this place is so fun, and you dont even know how cold the water at the bottom is!
so awesome i wanna take a trip there!!!
there is a less
crowded section a little downstream
Yeah I also been there the line is sooo long
LOVE sliding rock grew up going to that place ever summer...it is so cold even in july..my cousins broke her butt sliding one year...but she says it was totally worth it.
oh no, i was thinking of going there with family next weekend..how did she break her butt? Please do tell so I can warn everyone..thanks!
Love it.
Went there today it was awesome
What song is this?? I love it.
+Sarah Sprague Hi Sarah - it's by Dan Heimsoth, a singer songwriter from NC. It's called 'Sliding Down a Waterfall'. He let me use it for this video.
The place I was telling Gloria me and Danny went to. looks real fun.
awesome! anyone know of more natural water slides like this in the US ?
BigBudde & BooBoo None of these are quite as long, but there are several of them in North Carolina. Upper Creek Falls, Harper Creek Falls, Turtleback Falls, and Widows Creek Falls (at Stone Mountain NC) are a few examples. There is also Bridal Veil Falls in Talluah Gorge State Park, GA.
I did this a couple of days ago. Wow, it was fun!
Me too it was awesome
Thác nước quá trời đẹp đúng là thiên nhiên ban tặng cho chúng ta những hình ảnh tuyệt đẹp
I love this place, but when you go down, has anybody else fell in the hole?? I did and it was SO hard to get out of
How scary! What did you do?
I went here last weekend, i love it! Going across to get to the part to wait in line at the rock is rough, i busted my butt, haha. But it is a blast, the water was higher and very fast. I came out with a bruise and scraped knee, but it is worth it.. (: Veryyy cold water haha.
Bojangles!! 🎉❤🎉
that water was so cold it took my breath away!!!!!!
If that far in the mountains go a little further to chimney rock too.
I went on this waterslide and lost my tigers eye ring because of the tides but still an experience I will never forget.
Ah cool, there's a similar waterfall to this tucked away in SE British Columbia, but maybe only about half this size...
middle of summer and that mtn stream water is 50!!!
will draw up ya sack fer sure
I have been to that same sliding rock=)
I JUST got back from sliding rock, word of advise, wear water shoes because the rocks are slippery and sharp. but it was fun as hell.
Looks like fun. Try it on a surfboard....
This place is the best. I once went here with a camp for all girls.
I've been there and the water that you fall into it goes 8ft down but beside it there's a little place that you can just play in but the water is cold due to it being mountain water and I mean FREEZING COLD and when you are sliding down you there is a little groove that can make you go down wrong like my dad did he went down on the rock face down it was hilarious
i wish i could go there
goin tomorrow with church cant wait:):):):):)
Dang where dose 20 years go
I went there once I went to the right to much and my butt hit the big rock I my but is still bruised and the water was so cold
How deep is the water?
maybe 6-8' depending on the creek level
@DairyFreeRecipes that what is soooooo cold, your going to think twice about walking up the falls
Omg I luvv the sliding rock!!!!! But as some people have said the water is sooooo freezing!!!!! But it's worth it :)
Yes it is very cold I’m going to there this June I’m so excited the reason it’s cold is because the water runs of a mountain 🏔
Jeez when i went there was like 5 people
It's very muddy there
Yes, the water is cold
Coldest water ever!!! 24/7.... 365
@walkersdad01 yes and it was safer even back in the day with lifeguards because you crossed the river up top instead of walking up a slick rock. the way things are now someone is going to bust their head open. yes back in the day there was nothing here and only us locals knew about this, and there were no rules. the lifeguards need to calm down, nobody has the right to tell another person what is right or wrong for them. do the job and save the people but don't tell us how to slide.
yeehi!!!!!!!!
Aw man I did that when I was around 12 years old. I was so scared a rock was going to hit me in the crotch or something
does it hurt the bum sliding down?
fun but freezing!!
The Water is soooooooooooooooooo Cold
Except way less people, maybe 5 total.
Started going here in the 1960s! Only locals knew about it, but now that tourist found it, it’s not worth going too! They ruined it with their trash, attitudes and nasty behavior. They think they are MORE entitled than the locals...and in my opinion, non-locals should be banned. One guy from NY actually shoved my son out of the way and said “we didn’t come all this way to stand in line for an hour”...officials threw him and his family out and he went on the nut in the parking lot! Police came and arrested him. He actually said to sheriff “locals can come her anytime and should be made to stay out of vacationers way....”. Sheriff and park officials banned him for life!!!!!! We laughed out asses off. FYI...wear cut off jeans and know that water is SOOOOO cold, it will shrivel your nutsack. 🥶🥶🥶
Camp bonclarken all the way.
bahahahaha yea the Davidson river is awesomely cold but if you live here long enough you get used to it.
Actually this is on Looking Glass Creek...
WoW Tourist trap. It didn't use to be like this. Now they charge like 3 dollars to enter here.
long ass line to just do that.
It's pretty populated.
I heard when it hurts in the butt, when u go down.
is there any places to swim there or is it just the slide
It dosent hurt
+big tits you can swim at the bottom
big tits oh bro at Pisgah National Forest there are MANY places to swim.
post baloney beside it the river continues and you can go over there if your willing to get frozen by the natural mountain water
OMG I SEE ME NO THATS CREEPY
Is my child the only one going down Sliding Rock, that fell in a hole, deep enough to consume her whole body, and her to completely disappear, until she spontaneously just popped back up, in the meantime, scaring me to death??? Needless to say, we did not go back down again. However, I do not find anyone else speaking of this.
Well, it happens often. Like, probably a 5 second duration, on average.
Alanna Humphrey 😖😲 YIKES!😖😲
ItzJack 😖😲 YIKES!!!😖😲
ive seen people talking about that hole...scary.
Turtleneck falls is more fun *turtleback
