7:13 PM LOCAL TIMESlide Rock State Park is a popular outdoor destination just north of Sedona, Arizona, famed for its freeform water slide and natural swimming areas. The park centers on a 1,200-foot stretch of Oak Creek, where winter snowmelt and summer monsoons create swift, clear flows over polished sandstone channels. During warm weather, visitors flock here for tubing, wading, and family picnics; facilities include a historic congregational bathhouse, picnic sites, and a short ranger-led walk highlighting local flora. The surrounding landscape features red sandstone cliffs, patches of pinyon-juniper woodland, and Agastache foeniculum and native willows along the creek’s banks. To visit safely and preserve the site, check park rules on day-use only access, parking limitations, and current water conditions before arrival.
