This beautiful and scenic 430-acre park and reservoir is nestled below the Santa Cruz Mountains, just minutes from Morgan Hill and Gilroy. The park includes the 286-acre man-made reservoir available for non-gas powered boat use and fishing.

Activities at the park center around the reservoir. There are no designated trails within the park at this time. The reservoir is a 286-acre, non-gas powered (electric motors are permitted) boating reservoir popular with fishermen and boaters. Anglers may fish for trout, black bass, largemouth bass, catfish and crappie. Sailors, kayakers and other non-power boaters may enjoy a beautiful view from the calm waters of the reservoir. Picnic facilities are limited and are located at the boat launch/parking area.
