Located
in
what
many
consider
to
be
Mother
Nature's
finest
playground,
Slide
Rock
State
Park
is
nestled
in
lush
Oak
Creek
Canyon.
The
park
takes
its
name
from
a
30
foot
long
water
slide
worn
in
the
rocks
of
the
creekbed.
Fishing,
hiking,
picnicking,
and
nature-watching
take
on
new
dimensions
among
the
canyon's
red
rock
walls
and
pine
forests.
A
thriving
apple
orchard
is
a
unique
attraction.
The
state
has
expanded
parking
and
other
facilities
used
by
the
waves
of
visitors
who
refresh
themselves
at
Slide
Rock
during
summer
months.
Several
Forest
Service
campgrounds
are
nearby.
Slide
Rock
is
seven
miles
north
of
Sedona
off
State
Route
89A.
