Water Adventures

Sliding RockWater adventures in the Asheville area range wildly from whitewater rafting named the best in the whole U.S. to a unique natural waterslide to fun swimming holes and beautiful waterfalls."

Western North Carolina is perfect for explorers who don't mind getting wet. Mother Nature carved out a water park in the area, leaving behind calm wading pools, exciting water slides, memorable swimming holes and rollicking rapids. Some are easily accessible, a few require an adventuresome spirit, and several have lifeguards or trained staff on duty.
