Slick Rock Falls

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.

The waterfall formed through erosion and rock weathering over countless years. The area served as a natural barrier to movement through the region.

The falls serve as a gathering point for nature photographers and outdoor enthusiasts who document the changing seasonal appearances throughout the year.

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.

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.
