Slide Rock State Park- Just Slide!

Slide rock is a natural rock formation where people slide down with water carrying them down into a pool of cool water. People can wade in a tube down or lay out on the red rock and sunbathe. If you are brave enough, you can cliff dive! This is a favorite spot to visit for Sedona natives and visitors and is one of the many favorite attractions in Sedona. Slide Rock State park will become your “must do” activity that is one of the best places in Sedona during the dog days of summer!

History of Slide Rock State Park is interesting. In the past it previously grew apple trees.  The park’s name came from the stretch of slippery creek bed near the initial starting area. This acts as a natural water slide that continues down into pools of water. Beyond the natural water slide, the park also includes various natural swimming areas to cool off in. If you have kids, keep an eye on them on the slide and in the park to be cautious. When visiting Slide rock in summer, it can get crowed so be aware while visiting this naturally made water adventure!
