Sawyer Camp Trail
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sawyer Camp Trail is a popular six mile trail located in San Mateo County, California. Approximately 300,000 people use the trail every year. It provides excellent views of San Francisco Peninsula's Crystal Springs Watershed. The trail is on the east side of Crystal Springs Reservoir and generally runs parallel to the long axis (i.e. north-south) of the reservoir. The trail is managed by San Mateo County and is mostly surfaced in asphalt. There is considerable biodiversity along the trail due to the variation in habitat and the presence of serpentine soils. In particular the plant communities of Northern coastal scrub, grassland and California oak woodland are present.
[edit] Recreation
Some of the most popular recreational activities on the trail include walking, jogging, cycling, and rollerblading. Dogs are not allowed. Much of the trail is marked with a center stripe to minimize conflict with those traveling in opposite directions.
[edit] Nature
Virtually all of the trail runs alongside the scenic Crystal Springs Reservoir. It is common to see ducks, deer, and rabbits.
