Glassy Green Pools Along Oak Creek In Sedona Arizona
One of the many pools along Oak Creek Canyon at Slide Rock State Park.

While most notably famous for the smooth chute down Oak Creek, Slide Rock State Park is one of the few original homesteads in Oak Creek Canyon and the surrounding area that remains intact.

The water quality is tested daily and is reported through the Water Quality Hotline by calling 602-542-0202.  Slide Rock is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily; the Park closes at 7 p.m. Plan to arrive early as parking is limited.  There is a $10 fee per vehicle with up to four adults and/or children 12 years and older. A $2 fee is charged for each additional adult, and children under 12 yearbvs are admitted free.

And about that apple orchard.  Be sure to put the 4th Annual Slide Rock Apple Festival on your calendar, held September 20-21. The family-oriented event will feature farm fresh apples for sale, a variety of kids activities including face painting, pumpkin decorating and a hay stack maze, games of corn hole for the adults, and interpretative talks including one with a descendant of the original homesteaders, Cathy Pendley.

Slide Rock State Park In Sedona ArizonaSlide Rock State Park is located seven miles north of Sedona and 20 miles down the scenic Oak Creek Canyon from Flagstaff.

Park amenities include nature and hiking trails, a volleyball court and a small market for picnic supplies.
