Slip n’ slide on the Slippery Rock

Spend a day sliding down the sloping rock surface into the water at the Slippery Rock!

This algae-coated rock is a natural slip ‘n slide located on the right side of Red Maple Beach. It’s a great spot for kids and adults of all ages to unleash their inner child!

Not only does the algae provide fun for the whole family, but it is also an important source of food invertebrates which are eaten by fish and other aquatic animals.

Even if you’re a good swimmer, remember to always swim with a buddy! The slippery rock surface can make it tricky to get out of the water with ease. Don’t forget that the park has a PFD Lending Program, so you can borrow a PFD free of charge.

Visiting the Slippery Rock around supper time? Take a walk over to the nearby sunset rock located at the Red Maple Lookout and enjoy the setting sun over Grundy Lake.
