Long Shoals Roadside Park is a gorgeous and amazing place for trout fishing, hanging out in nature, and swimming. It is really easy to get to with great parking and stairs down to the stream, which opens up to a beautiful swimming area with a sliding rock, a rope swing, and a nice sand area for little kids. The water is amazing to cool down in. It is good for all ages, busy in summer and on weekends, and dog-friendly. There are trails, though some were almost completely blocked by fallen trees, so visitors should be safe. There is a bathroom at the top with portable toilets. Visitors are reminded to pack in and pack out their trash.
