Red Rock State Park is a state park of Arizona, United States, featuring a red sandstone canyon outside the city of Sedona.The main mission of this day-use park is the preservation of the riparian habitat along Oak Creek.
Oak Creek, a tributary of the Verde River, flows along the bottom of the canyon, and is one of the few perennial streams in the high desert region of northern Arizona. Oak Creek is largely responsible for carving the modern Oak Creek Canyon, although movement along the Oak Creek Fault, a 30-mile (48 km) long north–south normal fault line, is thought to have played a role as well.
