8Fossil Creek, Phoenix
Fossil Creek is one of the state’s two creeks. It not only has swimming holes with crystal clear water but it also has waterfalls. It runs along the Mazatzal Mountains’ northern section.
This remote place reportedly includes one of Arizona’s largest wilderness areas. In addition to swimming, you can also go kayaking and snorkeling. Once you’re wet enough, you can do some hiking on several different trails including the Deadman Mesa, Flume-Irving, Fossil Springs, and Mail Trails. They are enjoyed by both tourists and locals alike. The hiking trails include stunning views of colorful wildflowers, lush vegetation, wildlife, and landscape.
9The Crescent Moon Ranch, Sedona
Another must-see location in Sedona is the Crescent Moon Ranch. Here you will find not only a place to swim, but picnic grounds, striking views, and an overall exceptional ambiance. Founded in 1880, Crescent Moon Ranch is a fun spot that is now one of the US Forest Service’s “day use” facilities.
Crescent Moon Ranch is right below the iconic Cathedral Rock monument. You have a few choices of swimming holes here too but upstream and downstream. The water is comparatively warm and clean.
Once you have had your share of swimming here you can also have a picnic, do some barbecuing, take a hike and take some pictures, and even camp here if you’d like to spend a little time here. Some travel bloggers claim that the Crescent Moon Ranch is one of the best places to get away in the state.
