This a fantastic place to run or walk. It is in the open rolling hills in the watershed lands above Highway 280. It’s accessible, trails are open & excellent and the scenery is outstanding. However, no dogs or bikes are allowed. This is where the San Mateo Jr College Cross Country Team practices and has been the site of many great intercollegiate cross country races.
As shown on the map below you can also access the course on the west end from St James Rd. (Expand the map and make it a satellite map for more clarity). Via Sheep Camp Trail (starting off St James Rd just west of Wemberly Dr) you can also go down under Hwy 280 and eventually work your way over to the Crystal Springs Trail along Canada Road.
