The park is named after the famous Slide Rock, a stretch of slippery creek bottom adjacent to the original 43-acre homestead. Student visitors will see the dramatic geologic features as they slide down a slick natural water chute or wade and sun along the creek. The swim area is located on National Forest land which is jointly managed by Arizona State Parks and the U.S. Forest Service. Together these areas have seen the making of many Hollywood movies such as "Broken Arrow" (1950), "Drum Beat" (1954), and "Gun Fury" (1953).
