The Stevens Creek Trail spans 6.7 miles across two disconnected segments in Mountain View and Cupertino, closely following Stevens Creek, which flows from the Santa Cruz Mountains into the San Francisco Bay. This multi-use, asphalt trail is an off-street pathway for Silicon Valley’s communities and offers views of major tech campuses. The trail connects parks like Stevens Creek Shoreline Preserve and McClellan Ranch Preserve, popular for recreation and wildlife viewing. Named after Captain Elijah Stevens, the creek is one of the better-preserved waterways in the Bay Area, still following much of its original pathway.
