- Catalina — The southern slope of the Santa Catalina Mountains drops directly into the park's 5,500 acres of Sonoran upland — the rare state-park inventory that genuinely abuts a major national park unit (Saguaro East across the city of Tucson) and accepts rigs as long as 50 feet. (in Arizona)
- Slide Rock — Oak Creek runs through a 1908-vintage apple orchard that the Pendley family planted and the state acquired in 1985 — and the eponymous natural sandstone water slide draws so much summer demand from Phoenix and Flagstaff that the park introduced a timed-entry reservation system in 2021. (in Arizona)
