Another popular natural pool, or mini
spring, is Sliding Rock, which is very simi-
lar in nature to Bust You Butt Falls. The
pool itself is only 7 feet deep, but the
water stays fairly cold, so wear a T-shirt
and shorts when you slide down. You’ll
want the extra clothing for skin protection
as well, even though the rock is as
smooth as glass. The real fun to be had
is in watching others go flying down this
natural waterslide, only to come running
right back up for more. You can also rent
a tube and float on down, so the area of
Sliding Rock becomes a waterslide and a
natural Lazy River all in one.
Whether you’re looking to explore under-
water caves and the natural plumbing of
the lower elevation, or you’re more in-
clined to take a ride on one of nature’s
mountainside rollercoasters, these natural
waters will be the highlight of your sea-
son. Best of all? They are cheap! Admis-
sion to these areas ranges from $5 to $15,
depending on the season and your
rentals. A springtime vacation in the
springs couldn’t get any better!
