El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve encompasses 2,821
acres in the upper headwaters of the San Gregorio Creek watershed.
This watershed provides critical habitat for steelhead trout and
coho salmon, both federally threatened species on California's
Central Coast. These species have experienced dramatic population
declines due to water diversion projects and from sedimentation
associated with road construction, mining, grazing, and timber
harvesting.
Gordon Mill trail is one of many very enjoyable trails in this
preserve, take your time and enjoy the experience.
