From the East end most of the trail was roadside but did have a paved bike lane. Several wineries to stop at including Concannon. However the main trail was closed. I posted photos.
Nice trail, flat and shady. There are a couple of big streets to cross but it is easy to pick up the trail again.
We are new to biking and still finding our way. We started at the Livermore end and don’t recommend it. There is a lot of Urban riding on streets and lights to cross, we had to turn around a few times as the trail seemed a bit disjointed. So…. Start in San Ramon. We went on a Saturday morning about 8:30. The bushes are trimmed back to allow for bike riding. People were nice a courteous. I didn’t see any urban living that would have made me feel unsafe. We will definitely try this one again, but start farther north. Once we hit San Ramon, everything was great! We stopped at a Starbucks, had breakfast and used the bathroom.
Pluses: the trail is well maintained, with smooth pavement. Flat, decent for family bike rides,
Negatives: The trail is not entirely on a dedicated path, with a section that is out on the streets. Signage is there, but a bit too easy to miss, regarding getting you through the section on the streets,
The western half of the trail is out in the country, and though it parallels a fairly busy highway, fairly pleasant. The eastern half, though the trail itself is in good shape, is remarkable only for being a good commuter trail. It passes through a semi-industrialized region of the city, and has little esthetic value.
Bottom line: A good commuter trail, good for a quick out and back if you're passing through and want to get some exercise on a decent trailm but not worth making a special trip to get to.
Mi lugar preferido por el momento! Si quieres correr unas cinco millas es perfecto, me encanta la sombra que dan los árboles !!!
The Coyote Creek trail is great! It wanders thru fields in the valley with the hills in the near distance. The wild flowers are beautiful. This section of the trail is near Morgan Hill.
My husband and I ride this trail 2 or 3 times per week year round. We park at the visitor center in Morgan Hill and ride up to Hellyer Lake and back. It’s beautiful year round and full of courteous bikers and walkers. We have recumbent trikes and are in our late 60s. We feel safe on the entire round trip. We have spotted deer and wild turkeys and bunnies and turtles and right now (March 2025) the wild flowers are putting on a show! Highly recommend this beautiful trail!
This was a very nice ride, beautiful green hills and lots of birds. Western end has trails. that continue into coyote Hills regional Park, a very nice bonus. trail waswell-maintained. It can be very, very windy.
Road is closed to vehicle traffic on weekends. Great road condition and amazing view of ocean beach.
The Stevens Creek Trail has an additional 3 mile segment called the Stevens Creek/Tony Look Trail through Stevens Creek County Park. It follows the eastern shore of the reservoir and unlike the lower portions of SCT it is unpaved. This section is suitable for walking and jogging.
There is also a new 4 mile segment of Stevens Creek Trail through Montebello OSP, starting near the source of the actual Stevens Creek. This trail segment starts at the Page Mill Road parking lot for Montebello OSP and goes downhill towards Stevens Canyon Road. The trail surface is hard-packed dirt, appropriate for road biking, horseback riding, running, and walking.
