Day-Use
Areas
Wading and fishing the cool waters of Oak Creek
are the most popular forms of recreation in Oak Creek Canyon. Water
is essential to life in and around the creek and to life far downstream.
This high desert riparian ecosystem is very sensitive to contamination
and disturbance. Human activity can have a significant effect on
water quality, so please help protect this oasis in the desert:
Don't Pollute The Creek!
Shoreline vegetation provides an important buffer
to water sources, protecting water quality by absorbing and slowing
runoff and holding soil in place. Damage to this shoreline vegetation
can result in soil erosion, changing watercourses over time, contaminating
water, and damaging riparian ecosystems. Protect Oak Creek: Avoid
Trampling Vegetation!
