| Sliding Rock - FREE Water Fun! | Summer
|
If you are looking for a fun place to go and cool off up in the North GA mountains, check out the Sliding Rock. Sliding Rock is a swimming hole in the North Georgia Mountains on Wildcat Creek, where a cool sheet of water flows down a flat expanse of stone, forming a natural water slide. The sliding rock is only about a mile down the dirt road called W. Wildcat Creek Rd. There are plenty of campgrounds in the area. Check out Sugar Mill Creek Campground http://sugarmillcreek.com. You can also go to http://www.trails.com/tcatalog_trail.asp?trailid=HGD069-050
Directions: Take Hwy 76 west for 11 miles to Hwy 197 on the left. Follow Hwy 197 for 5 more miles to W. Wildcat Road on the right. This will be 1.4 miles past Moccasin Creek State Park.
