Best Sedona / Verde Valley Tubing Locations

Their recommended top-rated tubing spots are located along the beautiful Oak Creek. They have chosen 4 of the best locations along Oak Creek to go tubing. These locations are exceptionally scenic and easily accessible. Each one is about 1/8 of a mile to 1 mile stretch.

The four top-rated tubing areas are Slide Rock State Park, Grasshopper Point, Red Rock Crossing and Mormon Crossing.

Slide Rock State Park Slide Rock State Park has hours of fun for the whole family. Slide Rock has natural water slides and pools carved into the red rocks!
