Almaden Quicksilver Park

Hike, ride horseback, or bicycle along 30 miles of trails and cool your feet in Los Alamitos Creek. Native Americans once lived in these beautiful hills, and Spanish explorers named the area "Almaden." Mercury was actively mined here for over 200 years. Now the sycamore, maple, bay laurel, and valley oak trees have reclaimed the hillsides, and the banks of the creek are lush with riparian flora and fauna.
