East Fork Falls (photo by John Cochran) Nestled within the boundaries of Transylvania County can be found more than 250 natural waterfalls of all shapes, sizes, and configurations. Many of the falls are readily accessible to all, being visible from roadside pulloffs or via a short walk along an easy path. Others, however, are deeper in the woodlands and are accessible only by a hiking trail or by boat. | Top | Home | Misty Images The natural beauty of the falls is complemented by their many colorful names. Aside from the very popular Looking Glass Falls (pictured on the Homepage) which is 50 feet wide and 60 feet high and easily viewed from Highway 276 in Pisgah National Forest, just a few of the other falls include Rainbow Falls 150 feet high Raven Falls 75 feet high Slippery Witch Falls 100 feet high White Owl Falls 20 feet high Twin Falls 100 feet high Whitewater Falls 411 feet high (Highest in eastern US) (All six photos by Curtis Krumel.

Whether it be as a participant or spectator, this 150 foot natural water slide is not to be missed. Approximately 11,000 gallons per minute of cool (50 to 60 degree) mountain stream water propel sliders across the smooth rock base of the falls. The fun of sliding down the watery rock face is rivaled only by watching (and occasionally laughing at) those making the slide! Sliding Rock is located just off Highway 276 inside Pisgah National Forest. There is a nominal $3 per car admission fee to the falls area, and bathhouses are available for changing into suitable attire for enjoying the slide. | Top | Home |
