- StacyTremont, IL5 contributionsI observed these falls twice from the same location, the viewing platform off of highway 276. I could not get to the falls from this highway unless I was a private owner or staying somewhere that you must enter thru the Entrance Gate. There's probably a way via hiking but I didn't want to hike nor have time to research further. It was BEAUTIFUL from this easy access/wheelchair accessible sturdy platform. And the bonus is seeing where it starts as the water rushes around the back half & side of the platform before falling down to join the other part of the falls in the distance. The first time I went it was morning and still foggy, so I went back when it was sunny (& fortunately just AFTER it had rained) so my photos turned out better. Great to simply sit (could bring a lawnchair) &/or stand & listen to nature.Written 10 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlexSaint Louis, MO25 contributionsHiked many trails on many continents and this is my favorite trail of the Appalachians. Good water access for backpacking, great views (probably the best views on the blue ridge) on the balds. Good history at Cold Mountain. Also easy access to graveyard fields.Written 10 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- helenmariadTrinity, FL7 contributionsThis place is a fun experience for kids. Very rustic and the poles are very worn so it’s better to bring your own! Lady working there is friendly. We caught 10 lbs and had them filleted. Obviously not actually fishing, but quick fun for kids!Written 7 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Subteach10Asheville, NC354 contributionsThis is a short hike that is easy to do but I would caution everyone to read about how to get there, where to park, and what to walk before going. It is not well marked and you will have no signal once there.Written 16 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mixa's TravelsOldsmar, FL2,971 contributionsWe selected Slick Rock Falls from a brochure that included waterfalls in Transylvania County. Slick Rock Falls are very nice and you can "carefully" stand behind the Falls. There is a short trail to the Falls as on our visit it was barely visible from the road. I carefully got behind the Falls a bit for a pic and enjoyed the spray of the cool water.
Note:
Since we took FS475B to Log Hollow Falls we thought we would continue on it to Slick Rock Falls which is also off FS475B. We do NOT recommend that unless you are going on long hikes in the area. FS475B is a one lane narrow gravel road that twists and turns through Pisgah Forest. It is a TEDIOUS drive. If we were stopping other places along the road it would be different but not just to get to Slick Rock Falls. Easiest way to Slick Rock Falls is off US276 take FS475 about 1.5 miles then turn right onto FS475B over a mile to the Falls.Written 9 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

House includes a museum with period furniture. Grounds are cool, shaded, short walk from courthouse, walking trail accesible to anyone and a great playground for the kids.Written 9 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DavidandKarenTampaFlTampa, FL48 contributionsWe hiked this trail in October and enjoyed the beautiful fall leaves. This week we hiked to the falls and were able to see both falls at the same time because the leaves were down. It was spectacular! We also saw a third water fall that is not viewable when the leaves are on the trees. Absolutely wonderful hike!Written 25 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Penny MayTroutville, VA98 contributionsGood place to unwind from the day shopping or paying bills. Restful and a little bit of peace in the busy city.Written 10 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Roland KLa Crosse, WI402 contributionsTraveling from Dupont State Forest towards Brevard, stopped here at Hap Simpson River Access Park located on the French Broad River. Plenty of parking and picnic tables for those who want to picnic. River access for canoes, kayaks, etc on the French Broad River.
Scenic spot - no facilities, no trash bins (so carry out all that bring in). Sign stated area under surveillance.Written 12 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
