Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Lexington Reservoir County Park is a beautiful and scenic 914-acre park and reservoir just minutes from the Silicon Valley urban centers of Santa Clara County. The park includes the 475 acre man- made reservoir available for shoreline fishing and seasonal non-motorized boating. The County park is also part of a chain of parks and open spaces connected by the Bay Area Ridge Trail, which, when completed, will connect Sanborn with Almaden Quicksilver County Parks as well as Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve and other parks in the greater San Francisco Bay region.
