It seems like only minutes ago we finished up hiking back from Moore Cove Falls. Another waterfall, Slide Rock, was just a few minutes' drive away so we figured we'd go and take a look.
Slide Rock Falls, or Sliding Rock as one sign puts it, lives up to its name. It's an apron style falls that's suitable to go sliding down. During the high season it's a popular enough swimming attraction that there are lifeguards and an entry fee. Visiting in September meant we visitors were on our own.
The falls are still slideable— and the modest water flow makes it safe for anyone with basic swimming ability. But the water is cold. That, as much as not having packed swimsuits and towels in the car, kept me from trying it myself. Watch the video above to see another visitor go down the falls.
