Great park and huck on the North Fork of the Swannanoa. Slide with two boofs about 20 feet long. Only runs when the reservoir is releasing. From old 70 head north on North Fork road bearing left. Drop is under bridge. Stay left on the main slide as there is a hidden piton rock on the right. Hole is not bad at the bottom. The students at Warren Wilson College just down the road call this drop 'after school special' look for releases after rain when they draw down the resivior, the gauge is useless because it is too far down stream.
