Overview
The 1.6-mile Sabercat Creek Trail can be found along its tree-lined namesake waterway in the Mission San Jose community of Fremont, a coastal California city of the San Francisco Bay.
About the Route
The paved pathway runs through a former paleontological dig site, where thousands of fossil specimens have been collected, including mammoths, saber-toothed cats, wolves, giant sloths, and cave bears. Near its eastern end, Mission San Jose Park offers restrooms, picnic tables, a playground, and athletic facilities.
The Sabercat Creek Trai is best accessible from the eastern end of the trail at Pine St or 1837 Vía Orinda (Fremont).
Please see TrailLink Map for detailed directions.
This trail is a good length for a stroll. It is hilly and scenic. It is in a valley. The trail is asphalt with cracks sealed with tar. Except for the east end, which is concrete and very wide. I don’t recommend it for skating because it is rough and short. Also the hill at the west end near the bathrooms/parking is very steep.
Creek, and signboards along the way to describe ancient history right on the spot.
