Short hike to the water. Beautiful place where rocks meet water. Recommend going earlier in day. Should allot at least 2 hours. Water is clear but very cold in February. Practice caution as there are no barricades at the top of the trail overlooking the creek and can be dangerous if little ones wonder from the viewing bench. Overall a must see and different than all the red rock hikes.

Stunning setting as Oak Creek carves its way over the flat red rocks with some small rapids that folks use to cool off on hot days. We visited in March so water was too cold for that. But enjoyed the Pendley Homestead Trail, Clifftop Trail and the lower Creekside path. Admission was $20 per car in March but is higher on weekends/peak season. The America the Beautiful pass is not accepted here. Nice bathrooms and even a small snack/ice cream/market which opens in warmer weather.

A lovely outdoor swimming experience for the whole family. You should allow around 2 hours or more, otherwise the entrance fee of $20 per vehicle (with up to 4 people) is hardly worth it. Fun on or next to the natural 30m long slide is guaranteed. There are also several other places where you can swim, jump in or just cool your feet off. There are also some great picnic areas near the car park. What is not so great is the indifference of some visitors when it comes to leaving rubbish behind, what a pity! The volunteers are constantly collecting rubbish.

Jaclyn was the daring one, braving the 57 degree water for a slide. We enjoyed not going in. The park was closing so $20 was for 45 minutes of sliding. The area is scenic and the park rangers diligent. Nice for a hot day, although today was 80.

We visited this place 7 years ago, but because it is so nice, we returned. The walks are short but nice, the surroundi gs are great, especially the stream. Great place for families with children. Entrance fee is 20 usd but valid for 7 days.

What a fun day we had here!! It was a blast sliding down the rock crevices! The water was cold but when I got in quickly and began sliding, it didn't bother me. It was great to watch other people slide down the crevices too. One word of caution though......change into your bathing suit at one of the bathrooms before going down to the rock area because the bathroom there is really disgusting!

All the times I’ve been to Sedona, I never had a desire to go to Slide Rock State Park because of the crowds. This time was a perfect opportunity, end of April on a Tuesday around 10:15 AM. The scenic drive to the park is beautiful. As you drive up to the parking lot there is a $20 entrance fee that you can charge, plenty of parking and easy map to follow. There were not many people except for the one large group that commandeered the view by putting a big blue tenet up in the middle of the stream… killing photo ops. Other than that it was great. It's an easy walk and beautiful.

Great place to get some pictures but you do have to pay to get in. It is a very tiny parking lot and it is a bit of a walk back and down to the water. The slide rock is not so much a slide as it is a slide, scoot, slide, swim. I thought it was going to be a slide all the way down.

I have visited slide rock many times and have always had a blast with the water and the natural water slides. This time we visited in June during the week so it wasn't as busy as when visiting during the weekend. It still had a line but that was expected since this is a popular spot. The only thing that confused us was that on the website it says to pay $5 for every additional adult in the car after 4 adults. It would be better to clarify the ages because after 14 they charge you that extra $5 if you have more than 4 people. The prices vary between $20-30 per car depending on what months you visit. There are bathrooms located around the park and a souvenir store near the entrance. It's a small walk with stairs and down hill adventure to get to the water part of the park. It does get slippery while walking through water so water shoes and being careful would probably be best if you don't want to slip and FALL. Overall this is a great place to visit during the summer to cool off with families and friends.

Had 4 kids (14, 10, 8, 5) and wife. The water is from a natural source. Becareful of slippery spots for sure. Either wear cross, sandals or aquashes. You can go barefoot but the rocks hurt sometimes. The water was cold when we went (july) but you get use to it with the hot sun. Plenty of 1-2 ft places that are calm for little ones, but also 5-8 ft spots for adults and jumping in. So slide areas too on smooth rocks. Go early to get in line, but it's worth a look or sure. There's also a trout farm down the road you can use their poles to fish in their ponds.
