Sliding Rock is a 60 foot natural water slide that ends in a 8 foot deep pool of water, with 2 observation platforms. The area is open throughout the year, weather and water levels permitting, but has restrooms available seven days a week April 30-October 9, then weekends only October 15-30. Lifeguards are present everyday May 2-September 15. This is a heavily-used recreation area; come early and try to avoid visiting during the peak hours of noon-4 pm. Periodically, the parking area fills up and will be closed until spaces become available.

Sliding Rock is always a spectacle. If you are anywhere close to the area, this is a must visit. You can slide down the 60 foot natural rock slide into deep water. There are lifeguards in the summer and restrooms (except in the winter) at the parking lot. If you don't feel like going down the slide yourself, there are multiple observation decks and areas.
