Found in Oak Creek Canyon, Slide Rock State Park is widely recognized as one of the best swimming holes in the country. The 43-acre property was formerly an apple farm, but it was converted into a state park so that visitors could enjoy the incredible scenery, the refreshing creek, and the exhilarating natural waterslide that zips through the sandstone and into one of the pools. The park offers plenty of places to swim, sunbathe, and picnic, and there are several short walking trails. Visitors can also check out some of the historic cabins that were built on the property in 1933.
