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.
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. Vessels without
motors, including kayaks, paddleboards,
canoes, fisherman's float tubes, and
sailboats measuring 8 feet or less in
length, are allowed.
Paddling is especially popular on the
reservoir, whether in kayaks, canoes, or
stand-up paddleboards. The surrounding ares
offers excellent opportunities for hiking,
biking, running, picnicking, and horseback
riding but there aren't any camping
facilities at Calero Reservoir.
The reservoir can ge t
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.
