This small stream has managed to largely avoid development, and therefor can offer a glimpse of what the area looked like before modern times. You can also use the creek and the delineator between San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.

Running

San Francisquito Creek is a riparian oasis in the midst of a densely urban area, with a nice dirt trail alongside it. It's fed by tributaries running out of the Santa Cruz Mountains, and is one of the only streams in the bay area that retains a natural bed instead of a concrete channel.
