Slide Rock State Park is located in the Oak Creek Canyon area of northern Arizona, about 7 miles north of Sedona. The park is a 43-acre paradise of natural beauty, featuring a unique natural water slide formed by the smooth rocks and shallow pools of Oak Creek.

The park offers a variety of recreational activities including swimming, sunbathing, tubing, and picnicking. There are also several hiking trails, a playground, and a historic apple farm with orchards and a farmhouse which dates back to the early 1900s.

The park's signature attraction is the Slide Rock, a natural water slide created by the creek's smooth rocks and shallow pools. Swimmers can enjoy a thrilling ride down the slide, while others can relax on the sandy beach and watch as the sun sets over the canyon.

The park is open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the summer months, when the creek is at its fullest. During this time, visitors can also explore the nearby Coconino National Forest, which offers stunning views of the Red Rocks of Sedona and the San Francisco Peaks.

Slide Rock State Park is a great destination for those looking for an unforgettable outdoor experience. With its unique natural water slide, scenic beauty, and array of activities, it is the perfect spot for a day of family fun.
