Santa Clara County
The Baylands include the City of San Jose’s northern shoreline along the San Francisco Bay. The area has been identified since the mid-1980’s as a recommended priority area for open space preservation and park acquisition. These portions of the south San Francisco Bay consist mainly of the salt evaporation ponds, submerged lands and wetlands behind levees, with lands mainly in parks and federal wildlife refuge. This area possesses unique and valuable natural and recreational resources and experiences development pressures. The landscape of the area provides significant water protection and enhancement opportunities for the San Francisco Bay shoreline and wetlands within Santa Clara County. The Baylands promote regionally significant conservation and public access values by providing opportunities for a continuous shoreline trail connection for people and the Bay environment (Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail and San Francisco Bay Trail).
