Description:
- This clear canyon stream may be one of the most scenic fishing and swimming holes in the world. Oak Creek flows through a narrow gorge it has cut along a fault line in the same rock strata that form the Grand Canyon. But this smaller cousin of the world's most prestigious chasm, is much more accessible than its more famous relative. A road leads right down the middle of it. And if you'd really like to get to know these crimson cliffs and crystal pools up close and personal, there are plenty of overlooks and picnic areas, hiking trails and creased paths to help you do it.
FACILITIES: There are 5 developed campgrounds (173 sites), 3 picnic areas, Hiking trails, Drinking water and toilets at Slide Rock State Park
NOTES: Oak Creek Canyon can be very crowded. Campgrounds usually fill early. No glass containers permitted at Slide Rock State Park. Drive carefully.
