As summer approaches we plan our annual daytrip to Sliding Rock. Sliding Rock is a 60' natural rock slide with a 6-7 foot deep pool at the base - perfect for you folks looking for a waterfall to slide down. The slide is a Forest Service recreation area with lifeguards and staff are on duty from Memorial Day week end through Labor Day. There is a fee of $1 per person to access the area. Parking is somewhat limited, so go early if you can. It will be crowded on a summer week end. I think kids have to be a certain size to slide alone, but can sit on the lap of an adult. There are bathrooms which are open in season.
One of our first trips to Sliding Rock was in 1995, here Mike has Ryan and Brandon in his arms as the head toward the pool of cool water.
In 2004 Jake took the plung on his own.
Mike followed close behind. Me, well I've never had the courage to hit that cold water. But you should definitely make a stop at Sliding Rock on your next trip.
