Nice, not very hard hike that begin at the McAbee entrance and continue to Senador Mine trail. We did 6 miles loop along the reservoir.

We parked at the Hummingbird parking lot, no parking fee, clean restroom. We hiked to Buena Vista, English camp, then back. Total 5.3 miles. Half of the trail are shaded. Great view and history learning!

Do all trail lead back to the same entrance?

Albert Liu | Aug 24, 2021
Jason “JayMastaJay” Lehrbaum | Aug 24, 2021

whoever answered yes to that is 100% incorrect. there are multiple starting points at Almaden Quicksilver, depending upon where you run or walk, you could end up on a trail leading back to a different entrance. there are a total of five entrances into Almaden Quicksilver, so you really should get a map and some familiarity otherwise you may end up at a different entrance.

I can use metal detector in the park

Rafael Ortega | Aug 25, 2019
Shepherd | Aug 25, 2019

I dont see why not. But there are likely to be laws against taking historical artifacts, so it may have no purpose unless you're just trying to test a new metal detector.

Does this place have a waterfall?

Mike Soto | Aug 25, 2018
Rodolfo Vargas | Aug 25, 2019

Didn't encounter one while I was there but I haven't seen the entire park but I'm guessing there isn't one because it would probably draw bigger crowds.

Can you use low power ebikes on bike trails?

Brian Peterson | Jun 25, 2022
Shepherd | Jun 25, 2022

No motor bikes, but the e bikes didn't exist when those rules were made. I'd say go for it, but be responsible and don't get anyone hurt. You need to get a trail map though (online) because bikes are prohibited on many trails and it actually matters. The trails are often too busy at least on weekends for the trails they don't allow bikes on.

Many abandoned structures are off limits due to possibility of Hunta virus infection (from rats, I suppose).

Yep, bikes are allowed but it would be an easer access from the Almaden entrance, due to the hill.
