Great swimming hole with natural sliding rock that splashes into a cool pool. Great memories with the family playing here.
Great place for children and dogs enjoying the clear river and rocks with plenty of picnic areas and great walking paths
I live here so I am a little bit prejudiced. The drive through the forest is so breathtaking. You can hit the Blueridge Parkway and drive all the way to Virginia. It is such an awe inspiring trip that will never be forgotten. Spring, summer and fall are the best months as you might find the Parkway closed in places in the winter. There are so many things to see and do. We never get tired of the scenery. We moved here from Texas and LOVE it!!
My husband and I hiked here on Thanksgiving Day. There was just a light dusting of snow and the temperature was in the thirties-perfect hiking weather. I must admit I did not read about the trail first and when I heard 'Pink' in the title I mistakenly assumed that this would be a 1-2 mile hike. It was five! However, it was not a difficult trail. I would label it easy to very slightly moderate. (This is only due to the rocks that are on the paths at times. This might hurt your feet if you are not wearing appropriate footgear.)This was a peaceful and beautiful walk with recently rebuilt creek crossing bridges. Very enjoyable!
We were up in Pisgah in May and decided to return in October. This time we did the hikes by the ranger station and up past them a little. Really great area. HIghly recommend Mores Cove. Wonderful hike- bring a picnic and sit under rocks near small waterfall!
its a good place to stop at it is so beautiful and kids love being there I highly recommend it So this coming summer I would get in the car and go swimming and see the beautiful forest
Went to FR816 and went to top of Black Balsam and over to Ivestor Gap. Overnighted there and hiked the road out. Blueberries everywhere, best water I ever had on a trail, perfect weather and not a big crown, PERFECT!!!
With a number of 6000 ft peaks and balds here in Pisgah Forest, there is plenty of great views and excellent trails to hike! Home of the famous Art Loeb Trail and Cold Mtn, Black Balsam Knob, this is a wonderful place to visit!
Lovely driving thru the forest and great hiking trails. Looking Glass Falls is spectacular. In the summer you can swim in the Sliding Rock area. Picnic areas and waterfalls.
Great scenery with river along much of the way. We did in light fog and still worth the drive.Might want to fill up with gas before starting out!!!
