The Bay Trail is a flat and picturesque paved path around the wetlands of Shoreline Lake Park. The trail can be crowded on weekends, and there is not a lot of shade. Shoreline Lake Park was once a landfill but has been transformed into a 750-acre recreational space. Bikers can use nearly eight miles of scenic trails through sloughs and marshlands. Benches are scattered throughout for visitors to take a break. Check out the restored Rengstorff House, a nice example of Victorian Italianate architecture that offers free tours.

Stevens Creek Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

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.
