About Red Rock State Park

Red Rock State Park is a day-use nature preserve southwest of Sedona, Arizona. Its main purpose is protecting the creek-side habitat along Oak Creek, where desert plants and wildlife gather around flowing water. Paths loop through juniper and manzanita toward the creek and open meadows framed by red rock hills. The park supports environmental education through school programs, private group visits, and daily and weekly events such as guided nature walks. A visitor center with an interpretive area, a small theater, a gift shop, and restrooms serves guests. Pets are not allowed and swimming is prohibited. The park is currently closed because flooding damaged drives, parking lots, and trails, and it is not taking new event or group reservations.
