Natural Waterslide at Slide Rock State Park in Arizona. Jump into Nature’s Thrills!
Slide Rock State Park
Located in Sedona, Arizona. Originally operated as an apple orchard for many years. Now it is open to the public for you to enjoy the natural water slide.
My kids really enjoyed this park. Sliding down the natural water slide and jumping off a cliff were their favorite things to do while there. Jumping off the cliff isn’t encouraged but lots of people were doing it. Occasionally my kids would touch the bottom when they jumped so it isn’t too deep. We spent several hours here swimming, sliding and cliff jumping. Park rangers are constantly walking around to make sure everyone is safe and obeying the rules.
