Quarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area, Regional recreation area in Fremont, California.
The Quarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area spans 471 acres of land, including 350 acres of interconnected lakes formed from former gravel quarries.
The land belonged to Mission San Jose before becoming a gravel quarry in 1912, supplying materials for the western section of the transcontinental railroad.
Native American tribes first inhabited this land along Alameda Creek, which later marked the boundary between Contra Costa and Santa Clara Counties.
Visitors can participate in swimming, fishing, and boating activities at Horseshoe Lake, with regular fish stocking of rainbow trout and bass.
The lakes now function as groundwater recharge basins managed by Alameda County Water District, while supporting recreational activities for the public.
