Calero County Park is one of Santa Clara County's most diverse recreation areas, offering a host of water-oriented activities unlike other local lakes and reservoirs. The centerpiece is Calero Reservoir, a popular destination for a variety of outdoor pursuits.

Paddling is especially popular on the reservoir, whether in kayaks, canoes, or stand-up paddleboards. Exploring the water provides opportunities to photograph the abundant wildlife, including numerous bird species as well as deer, foxes, and rabbits that call the area home.

However, the reservoir can get crowded, especially on weekends with motorized water sports. For a more peaceful experience, visitors are advised to plan their water activities, such as fishing, paddling, and wildlife photography, for weekdays when the reservoir is less heavily used.
