Swimming Holes in Arizona
28 Sites Found Public & Accessible Land
Arizona's swimming holes are earned — most require a significant drive and a hike in desert heat. Havasupai Falls on the Havasupai Reservation requires a permit and an 8-mile hike into the Grand Canyon; the turquoise travertine pools are among the most photographed in the country. Seven Falls in Sabino Canyon behind Tucson is a 7-mile round trip to seven cascade pools in Bear Canyon — trail closed when flash floods threaten. Tonto Natural Bridge near Payson is a calcium carbonate natural bridge enclosing a large pool reached by a steep quarter-mile switchback. The Verde River near Camp Verde has swimming in the spring-fed corridor through the Prescott National Forest.
Always check current conditions before visiting — water levels, algae advisories, and access roads change seasonally. Never swim alone in remote sites. Tell someone your plans. Explore all swimming holes on the Trek4Free map →
