      Rancho Cañada del Oro Open Space Preserve

Rancho Cañada del Oro Open Space Preserve is located in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains in South Santa Clara County. Two glistening creeks run through mixed oak woodlands and grasslands. Deer, bobcats, foxes and other wildlife roam throughout the preserve. In the spring months, wildflowers adorn the meadows and hillsides.

This preserve contains 12 miles of multi-use trails, which provide full nature experiences for visitors. In 2024, the Open Space Authority completed construction connecting the accessible Llagas Creek Loop Trail to a newly-installed bridge over Llagas Creek.
