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.
These tubing hot-spots offer short runs of fast moving
current which connect to deep pools that you can float and play
in. All the locations are about a 10 to 30 minute drive from their
Boathouse in Sedona. 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!
This is a great tubing spot if you're looking
for lots of excitement and great photo opportunities because
Slide Rock is also a historical marker.
Restrooms/changing areas are available in
the parking area. (Small entry fee required.)

Grasshopper Point
Grasshopper Point is a great tubing spot and is also
a great swimming hole with sunny and shady spots for picnics. This
section of Oak Creek has a deep slow-current pool and a twenty foot
rock cliff face that you can jump off into the deep water. The stream
continues downward from this diving area, providing tamer swimming
and tubing areas-great for water cannon fights! Restrooms/changing
areas are available in the parking area. (Small entry fee required.)
