Almaden Quicksilver has five public entrances, spread around the park's perimeter. Each opens onto a different part of the trail network — pick the one that matches your starting point, fitness level, and what you'd like to see.
McAbee
The most popular entrance. Street parking only, but loops of 1, 2, and 4 miles begin here through lush oak woodland. Hikers only — no bikes.
›
Webb Canyon
The quietest entrance. A steep paved road leads up to the New Almaden Trail, from which you can explore the northern part of the park in either direction.
›
Mockingbird
A great all-around entrance with a large parking lot and restroom. Multiple trailheads offer a choice of terrain, from the ridge-climbing Virl O. Norton Trail to the New Almaden Trail.
›
Wood Road
The most remote entrance, high on Hicks Road at 1,400 feet. Immediate access to varied habitat and the historic rotary furnace site. A rewarding drive to a beautiful and uncrowded trailhead.
›
Hacienda
Deep in historic New Almaden, with ample parking, restrooms, and mining equipment on display. Popular with mountain bikers. The gateway to Capehorn Pass and the upper park, including English Camp.
