The Stevens Creek Trail has an additional 3 mile segment called the Stevens Creek/Tony Look Trail through Stevens Creek County Park. It follows the eastern shore of the reservoir and unlike the lower portions of SCT it is unpaved. This section is suitable for walking and jogging.
There is also a new 4 mile segment of Stevens Creek Trail through Montebello OSP, starting near the source of the actual Stevens Creek. This trail segment starts at the Page Mill Road parking lot for Montebello OSP and goes downhill towards Stevens Canyon Road. The trail surface is hard-packed dirt, appropriate for road biking, horseback riding, running, and walking.
Started the trail at the water tower. Really nice to finally have a trail that connects to Sacramento. Had to cross streets but it was worth it for the ride.
Parking lot was closed when we tried to visit. No signage to explain why.

We discovered this trail in summer and had a great evening ride on the summer solstice. Came back for the fall colors. Started in Westwood and rode 25 miles down to susanville. The Lassen rural shuttle makes this sooo easy. Thank you Lassen county for the shuttle ! Awesome river canyon ride!
Paved trail on South side near campgrounds. We started at the furthest west CG and headed to the gallatin marina for a snack then rode back. Under 9 miles for out and back total. Shady and picturesque
I away used to ride this trail ever since a couple months ago
I rode this trail from the Livermore end to just past Danville. Overall, it seems more suited to local users that have identified sections that fit their needs (e..g. running, walking, or shorter bike rides. There were two fairly lengthy detours secondary to construction. Parts of the trail have cracks wide enough that they are a serious risk to causing anyone with skinny tires to crash, though other parts are as perfect as a path can be. Foot traffic in the Danville section, at least on a weekend, is heavy. There are many traffic crossings, and having to wait for a light to change in order to get across is not uncommon. For anyone attempting to ride the entire length of the trail, a spirit of adventure and a bit of determination would be required. Of note is that one can get on the trail right in front of the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station. As BART is a bike friendly way of getting around, this opens up trail access to people throughout the Bay Area. Other than dangerous cracks in the path, safety is not an issue.
Love this trail. We always take this trail for bike riding
Took the path from LA sierra to Main Street and back. Around 11 miles, it's pretty easy. No hills. 9/26/24
I am fortunate to live a few blocks from the trail and I ride it every day. From Beal’s Point at Folsom Lake to the Aquatic Center at Lake Natoma takes you through shaded oaks and along the river. Start at Beal’s and ride to the Folsom Pedestrian Bridge, enjoy the stunning views of the river. You can cross the bridge into historic Folsom and stop for fantastic food at Karen’s Bakery, right on the trail, a favorite stopping point for bikers. Return across the bridge to the trail and through Black Miner’s park and picnic area right on the water. Continuing on, you’ll ride along the water then through lovely oak trees then come out along the river again as you approach Lake Natoma. You can cross Hazel Ave to the Aquatic Park/Beach. This connects to further trails if you want to continue. Both Black Miner’s and Aquatic parks have swimmingpicnicking/kayak rentals as well.
