uvas canyon county park印象

Lived in the Bay Area for 30+ years and just discovered this place! Way off the freeway, up a beautiful windy road, lush and green and the creeks and waterfalls full of water even in a drought year. Nice day hike, even dogs allowed - perfect
-
The Waterfall Loop Trail was nice. There was running water in the creek and some mini waterfalls also. Didn't hike up the steep trails, maybe next time. Nice to visit early morning before it gets too hot!

Love getting away to this park... Some wonderful hiking trails makes you feel like you are miles away from the city.

What's not to love about this place?No, seriously, the drive there is a bit long and unusual (the cabins remind me of a Steven King novel), but the whole park is accessible to dogs, the main hike nicely shaded the whole way, usually there are cascading rapids and lush foliage, and if you want a rougher hike, there are two other trails (one to the peak that's full of lizards and the other around the ridge to below the parking lot) which you can explore and appreciate. Really, this is some of the best hiking in the South Bay.

Lots of shade here, and the streams still had a bit of water flowing at the end of August 2014. The picnic area, where the trails begin and end, has restrooms and water, lots of picnic tables and barbecues, and a lot of quiet shade. Parking was not a problem on a Sunday afternoon. We left the picnic area on the Waterfall Loop trail, going counterclockwise. The trail is wide, shaded, smooth underfoot, and mostly uphill. At the far end, we took a detour up the Knobcone trail to Knobcone Point. This is labeled "Steep" on the maps, with good reason. I was glad I had two trekking poles. The trail is in good condition with intermittent shade, but it is steep and occasionally covered with loose gravel. After returning to the main trail, we headed back on the longer Contour Trail instead of the lower section of the Waterfall Loop. Although not labeled steep, the Contour Trail still has plenty of up and down. It's a narrower trail, mostly wooded, just beautiful. Again, I was glad I had poles, but there were trail runners out too!The park is immaculate and trails are well maintained and signed.

fantastic park for hiking and taking the kids. You can hike down by the creed which is real fun and depending on the time of year there are waterfalls. Also very nice picnic and campgrounds.

I camped out in Uvas Canyon last weekend and had a great time. It's only a 1 1/2 h drive from the Berkeley area, which is very convenient. The park is small but has some very nice short hikes with beautiful waterfalls and streams. The light fall through the trees in the canyon is amazing. Mind you, it is a canyon, so parts of the hikes could still be a bit of a challenge if you are not in shape. The campground is small. The sites are relatively open, so if there are a lot of families on Saturday it can be a bit noisy. The best time to come is during the week or Sunday after 12PM. Sooo peaceful! The amenities are brand new and super clean! I can totally recommend this park for a short camping trip or even just for a nice picnic and hike on the weekend. I will be back!

Since we've had some rain, my hiking group wanted to view the waterfalls. The trails have lots of shade. No waterfall on the first out and back trail we hiked, but we had driven 45 minutes so we wanted to hike all the trails we could. The next trail led to an area where the waterfalls were slightly flowing. The loop took us back to the parking lot where we ate our lunch in a lovely picnic area. The bathrooms are extremely clean with flush toilets and running water in the sinks. Some members of our group have camped at Uvas and said the amenities are quite nice. Parking on Tuesday was plentiful, but I would think it would be crowded on a weekend. $6 entrance fee, but with a senior county park pass, it is free.

Easy waterfall loop has beautiful falls in the Spring. Plenty of picnic tables at the trail head. There is a fee to park.

From the San Jose area, it's about a 45 minute drive, but well worth it. If you go at the right time of year, the waterfalls are very nice, although anytime of year is still awesome. There are several trails available depending on how much time and how much energy you want to exert. The parking is about $10/car and no other fees. Great for family's, pets, and for general nature walks.
