Cashiers Sliding Rock

Waterfall · North Carolina

About this swimming hole

Cashiers' own natural waterslide, where a smooth rock chute drops swimmers into a mountain pool. It's smaller and wilder than Brevard's famous Sliding Rock. The setting in the Nantahala National Forest is pure Southern Appalachia.
