Slide Rock State Park: Pendley Homestead House Built 1927

            Slide Rock State Park, originally the Pendley Homestead, is a 43-acre historic apple farm located in Oak Creek Canyon. Acquired under the Homestead Act in 1910, Frank L. Pendley established a unique irrigation system which is still in use today. As a result, he was able to plant an apple orchard in 1912, a pattern of agricultural development that has dominated the site since that time. Pendley also grew garden produce and kept some livestock. 

The park is named after the famous Slide Rock, a stretch of slippery creek bottom adjacent to the homestead. Visitors may 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) with James Stewart, "Drum Beat" (1954) with Alan Ladd and Charles Bronson, "Gun Fury" (1953) with Rock Hudson and Donna Reed, and a scene from "Angel and the Badman" (1946) with John Wayne.

The park was accepted onto the National Register of Historic Places on December 23, 1991.   (12-02-10-2718)
