Slick Rock Falls, Waterfall in Pisgah National Forest, United States.
Description
Slick Rock Falls is a waterfall in Pisgah National Forest with a drop of about 35 feet that cascades over an overhanging cliff formation. The water splits into multiple streams as it flows down the smooth rock surface.
History
The waterfall formed through erosion and rock weathering over countless years. The area served as a natural barrier to movement through the region.
Culture
The falls serve as a gathering point for nature photographers and outdoor enthusiasts who document the changing seasonal appearances throughout the year.
Practical
The site is easiest to reach from Brevard by following forest roads to the designated parking area. Wet conditions make the surroundings slippery, so wear shoes with good grip.
Did you know?
A natural cave formation behind the waterfall allows visitors to walk directly beneath the falling water. This hidden vantage point reveals the cascade from a perspective not visible from the main viewing area.
