Stevens Creek Watershed

Stevens Creek flows from the mist-shrouded hills of Skyline Ridge through the heart of Silicon Valley into San Francisco Bay. There are many public and private landowners and stakeholders working to complete the Stevens Creek Trail which will extend approximately 27 miles to connect the Bay Trail to the Ridge Trail. Stevens Creek provides essential habitat and serves as an important corridor for both resident and migratory wildlife. It is home to steelhead trout, three species of newts, the beautiful lazuli bunting and so many more native plant and animal species.
