Excellent walk in the Bay Area: Sabercat Creek Multi-use Trail, Fremont California

Sabercat creek Trail is a hidden gem of open space in Fremont, California (Sabercat Creek Trail).  It is located at Paseo Padre Parkway and Quema Drive and is a paved, ADA compliant multi-use trail that is family friendly and good for walking and biking.  Quite a bit of the trail is shaded. In the 1940's numerous fossils were found in this area including mammoths, saber toothed cats, mastodons, wolves, and giant sloths. 

The trail follows sabercat creek, with riparian foliage and views of Mission Peak. In terms of wildlife, I have spotted turkeys, lizards, and deer.  Blackberry bushes also grow alongside the creek.
