Reviews
"This is an amazing county park in back of a neighborhood! Lots of parking and many trails to choose from. Lots of up hill but trails are well marked and in good condition. Good variety of vegetation and picnic tables along the route. Some sunny areas as well as shaded areas so bring sunscreen and lots of water."
"Parts of this park are really nice. And the signs explaining all the history are great. Some parts of this park are just hell. Super steep exposed hot fire roads. Not a fun part of our trail run. The single track trails in the shade were really fun though, and I love open space so easily accessible from the city!"
"It was a beautiful morning for hiking. We met people on the trail but it was not crowded. We took the counter clockwise loop, which gets steep downhill. Not too difficult but knees get a good workout. Otherwise the is clean and wide. There is plenty of parking in the lot. The views from the top are beautiful."
"Spacious county park with a variety of hiking trails leading to historical sites, ruins of old mining communities and beautiful vistas. The English Camp area is a personal favorite to hike to within the park."
"I had an amazing time at Almaden Quicksilver County Park during my afternoon hike. We started from the Webb Canyon Trailhead. The trail offered a perfect blend of medium to challenging levels, making it a great adventure. The scenic views along the way were simply stunning, and I was fortunate to spot a graceful deer on our journey back. If you are looking for workout and hike, this is definitely your park!"
