Among the Travel Channel’s “10 Top Swimming Holes in the United States,” Slide Rock State Park, located in picturesque Oak Creek Canyon, is a leading area attraction for outdoor adventure enthusiasts. The park’s centerpiece is an 80-foot sandstone water slide, where you can glide down algae-slicked rocks into refreshing natural pools fed by Oak Creek. Beyond sliding and swimming, explore short hiking trails, enjoy picnics amid alluring red rock vistas, and observe local wildlife.
