Coyote Hills Regional Park was dedicated in 1967. The park comprises 1,266 acres of marshland and rolling grassland-covered hills. This busy park is located along the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, northwest of the cities of Fremont and Newark. The most popular visitor activities are hiking, jogging, bicycling, bird watching, nature exploration, and picnicking. Well used every season of the year -- spring, summer, and fall tend to be the most popular.
This park offers a truly rewarding hiking experience with beautiful, panoramic views of the bay. The trail system features a great mix of terrain, with paths winding up and down the grassy hillsides.
For those looking for a challenge, there is a steep section that provides an excellent workout. While the overall elevation gain is moderate (likely under 1,000 feet), the varying slopes offer plenty of opportunities to get your heart pumping.
A highlight is the marsh area, which is a fantastic spot for birdwatching. You can often spot a variety of shorebirds and waterfowl here.
The views are stunning in every direction: you get a clear look at the west side of the bay and a beautiful, sweeping landscape on both sides of the ridge.

Quarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area is a scenic outdoor destination that beautifully combines natural landscapes with a wide range of recreational activities. Located in Fremont, California, the park is known for its expansive lakes, maintained walking trails, and abundant wildlife, making it a popular spot for families, nature enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers.
Visited the Quarry Lakes Recreational Area today. Beautiful day walking the wide gravel paths around and between the bodies of waters. Swimming area was closed, but there were lots of people fishing. There were many families and groups walking the paths, but it did not feel crowded at all. Lots of parking ($5), picnic tables with grills and restrooms. Non motorized boats can launch from the boat ramp, though it is plagued by toxic algae at this time.

The Alameda Creek Regional Trail follows the banks of Alameda Creek in southern Alameda County from the mouth of Niles Canyon (in the Niles District of Fremont) westward to San Francisco Bay - a distance of about 12 miles. The trail on the south bank provides access to Coyote Hills Regional Park. An additional 3.5-mile-loop trail off the Alameda Creek Trail, into and out of Coyote Hills, and back onto the Alameda Creek Trail, qualifies in distance for marathon runs.
This is now December and there are still so many people visiting this park. Very clean and well kept. Even the trails are great. They have tables n benches. There are clean bathroom facilities. And maps throughout to help guide you.
