Nice shady trails, about 27min driving to get there.
Our go-to hiking spot, 5min away. We usually walk around the paved loop or hike on the many trails near the Bear Ranch entrance (see below). Only 5min driving to get there. If you want to picnic or hike by the lake, try the Mendoza Ranch or Coyote Lake entrances (see below).
There are three entrances into Coyote Lake Harvey Bear Ranch County Park:
Bear Ranch - from U.S. Highway 101 in San Martin, take the San Martin Ave exit. Proceed east on San Martin Ave for 2 miles. The entrance to the park is on the left, 0.25 mile east of Foothill Avenue.
Mendoza Ranch - From U.S. Highway 101 in Gilroy, take the Leavesley Road exit. Proceed east on Leavesley Road 2 miles to New Avenue. Proceed north on New Avenue 0.5 miles to Roop Road. Proceed east on Roop Road 3 miles into the foothills. Turn left into the park.
Coyote Lake - From U.S. Highway 101 in Gilroy, take the Leavesley Road exit. Proceed east on Leavesley Road 2 miles to New Avenue. Proceed north on New Avenue 0.5 miles to Roop Road. Proceed 3.5 miles east on Roop Road into the foothills past the Mendoza Ranch entrance. Turn left into the park and proceed 1 mile north to the entrance station and visitor center.
