About Oak Creek

Tucked about twenty miles south of Steamboat Springs along Highway 131, Oak Creek is an unpretentious mountain town with deep roots and a relaxed pace. Originally founded as a coal hub in the early 1900s, the community holds onto its honest, working-class charm while offering quick access to Stagecoach State Park and the surrounding national forest. Families and newcomers appreciate the quiet streets, South Routt schools, and friendly, close-knit vibe, making it a great home base in the Yampa Valley.
