Due note: The park is
open year-round from 8:00 a.m. until sunset. Vehicle entrance fees are
collected year-round.
My thoughts: Excellent place
for afternoon walk or a bike ride that combine some nature viewing. Enjoy the
water pounds for bird viewing or even fishing.
The visit:
The park is
popular for joggers and bikers, most are using the long, paved trail along the
river.
No matter if
you entered the trail from the main parking lot, Vasona park, or any other
connecting trail you will enjoy this log trail in the middle of the south
valley.
On top of the
main trail there are few sideway trails that will lead you to side location,
with less people and almost no bikes.
The Los Gatos
Creek is one of the few urban streams in Santa Clara Valley. It is both a
riparian corridor for plants and wildlife and is part of an intricate system of
water resources and flood protection.
Water released
from Lexington Reservoir flows to the large Vasona Lake. A system of gates at
the lake dam releases water downstream to the percolation ponds at Los Gatos
Creek County Park. Ultimately, the creek joins the Guadalupe River and flows
northward to San Francisco Bay.
