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.
