South County Regional Trail Connection

Santa Clara County

The South County Regional Trail Connection joins open space areas in the southern most region of Santa Clara County with several regional trails. Those regional trails include the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail, Monterey-Yosemite State Trail, Benito-Clara Trail, Bay Area Ridge Trail, and West Valley Trail. The area also provides habitat for a variety of species, such as the California red-legged frog, California tiger salamander, and western pond turtle. The area has riparian habitat along Pacheco Creek and its tributaties and serves as a wildlife corridor for the San Joaquin kit fox and other native species. Land conservation in this area would preserve the connectivity of this landscape for people and wildlife.
