Vasona Lake County Park

Highlight • Lake

Los Gatos Creek trail runs through Oak Meadow Park and Vasona Park. Attractions in this pair of parks include the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad and a T33 airplane that kids can crawl on. The trail follows the east side of the lake and goes up and over the dam.
San Jose is fast becoming the best bikeable city in the Bay area (which admittedly doesn't mean much if compared with Europe), with several long dedicated bike and multi-use trails through the city following natural features, such as Coyote, Los Gatos, and Guadalupe creeks.
The Los Gatos Creek Trail is a 9.7-mile (15.6 km) pedestrian and bicycle trail that runs through western Santa Clara County in California, from Lexington Reservoir in Los Gatos, California through Campbell, California to Meridian Avenue in San Jose, California alongside Los Gatos Creek. The trail is heavily used.
