Uvas Canyon County Park is part of the Santa Clara County Park System. This natural park is located in upper Uvas Canyon on the eastern side of the Santa Cruz Mountains, and has several small waterfalls, some of which flow perennially. It is also very close to San Jose and Silicon Valley. It facilitates picnics, hiking and overnight camping. It is one of the few parks in the area that allows dogs in the campgrounds.
Access to Uvas Canyon County Park is via Croy Road, a two-lane paved secondary road off Uvas Road with no outlet that narrows to a single lane within the small private community of Sveadal, just before the park entrance.
