Alpine Rock Water Slide
Alpine, Utah
Keep Out
The land has been sold and the new owner has closed off the waterslide to the public.
Swim
The Alpine Waterslide is a natural waterslide that surprisingly does not hurt your backside. However, the land has been sold and the new owner has closed off the waterslide to the public. For more information on the closure, visit UtahValley360.com or HeraldExtra.com
The bright side is this:
While Sliding Rock is lost to the public, the agreement with the developers of Three Falls Ranch provides for many new recreational opportunities for the public including trails that will connect the public to the current city trail system and the National Forest. Courtesy of HeraldExtra.com
