Los Gatos Cycling - Los Gatos Creek Trail
The Los Gatos Creek Trail is a fantastic resource for a ride, offering a mix of paved and unpaved sections that span approximately 11.9 miles one-way from San Jose to the Lexington Reservoir. Here is the current breakdown of the trail as of March 2026: Trail Segments for Cycling Segment Surface Highlights San Jose to Campbell Paved Starts at Meridian Ave. Good for a steady, flat cruise. Campbell to Vasona Paved From Vasona Park to Campbell Park, passes through Los Gatos Creek County Park; very popular and can get crowded on weekends. This is the segment we rode. Around 7km one way. A few up and down hills. Not too bad. Vasona to Downtown LG Paved Scenic lakeside riding; look out for the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad near Oak Meadow. Downtown LG to Lexington Unpaved A gradual 500-foot climb on a wide gravel/dirt path (old rail bed). Best for gravel or mountain bikes.
