PRO TIPS:

No alcohol, and no picnicking allowed, but there are nice picnic areas down the road a bit, so pack a cooler and make a day of it.

There are stairs, so it is not stroller or wheelchair accessible beyond the upper overlook platform.

Cell service isn’t accessible past Dolly’s Ice Cream, basically from the beginning of the approach road.

Lockers are available for rent but most people seem to leave their bags at the bottom of the stairs.

Bathrooms and changing rooms are located at the top near the upper observation platform.

The water is SHOCKINGLY COLD. We cannot stress this enough. Even the strongest swimmers get disoriented by it, so we highly recommend kids wearing floatation devices until you know they can handle it (available for rent).

We recommend well fitting water shoes for everyone. You will be climbing over rocks, climbing up a waterfall, and climbing up gravely stairs to get up to the lockers and bathrooms. The water can be a little forceful as well and will knock you out of your shoes if they are loose.

This is a heavily-used recreation area; come early and try to avoid visiting during the peak hours of noon-4 pm.

Dogs are allowed AT Sliding Rock, but not ON Sliding Rock
