Cave Creek

Cave Creek is a town in Maricopa County, Arizona in the United States. It is adjacent to the town of Carefree, and shares local landmark Black Mountain with Carefree.

There are two notable streams known as Cave Creek in Arizona. One flows through the Town of Cave Creek and into Phoenix. This may be the origin of the Town's name. The other Cave Creek is in the Chiricahua Mountains, 200 miles to the southeast.

In 2000, the state of Arizona, Maricopa County, and the town of Cave Creek bought Spur Cross Ranch. It had unusual cacti, stone formations, and hundreds of Hopi Indian tribal artifacts, and is now a Maricopa County park.
