Boat launching for small watercraft is possible during high tide. The County's largest and most popular reservoir provides opportunities for both power and non-power boating, and fishing. Shady oaks shelter shoreline picnic areas along the western shore and at the Woodchoppers area. Group and family picnic sites are available below the dam on Coyote Creek. The park's serpentine ridges offer spectacular views of the Santa Clara Valley.
Horse stables and trail rides are available.
This narrow reservoir is an ideal spot for fishing, sailing, and rowing. The north portion features a paved multi-use trail popular with bicyclists, rollerbladers, and hikers. South of Metcalf Road, an equestrian trail parallels the paved trail. The park's most unique feature is its Olympic-size bicycle racing track. The park also provides opportunities for picnicking, fishing, sailing, powerboating, waterskiing, and jet skiing.
