Coyote Creek Trail, Milpitas

Nice, peaceful and well maintained trail for walk/run. Best thing is it’s near to my house. Super refreshing to go for a walk. It’s not too crowded as well.

A part of this trail goes behind Verona at the crescent village. I often take that part till Tasman. It is always peaceful, calm and the best part is so near to my house. The recent rains have filled up the creeks and there are more ducks and geese. The creek has become lush and green.

I am indifferent to this trail. I started by the 237 freeway and didn't go more than 3 miles north. So I more likely missed out on some good scenery. I would say this trail would be more for bikers, as they could explore the trail along its vast stretch. The south portion is more industrial. If walking or running, stay on trail. There are many homeless people living by the river or by the interior dirt trails. Be careful. I would prefer starting by the north end to experience more of a wooded or pasture style setting. South end has homeless camps. If they clean up the area, I could give it a better score. Big warehouses like Amazon are set up in this area. More trees or bushes would help to block out the industry feel.

Well maintain trail. Very flat which is suitable for biking and rollerskating. A small parking lot. However, it is not shaded at all. That's why I gave 4-star instead of 5.

I love this trail for 2 reasons, first it’s near by to my place 😀 and second it has various exit points based on your energy you can exit the trail. It is not stroller friendly so be cautious with younger kids
