Uvas Canyon County Park, County park in Santa Clara County, California, US

Uvas Canyon is a protected landscape covering about 1,100 acres of mountainous terrain where several small waterfalls cascade down rocky slopes. These falls feed into tributaries that eventually join Uvas Creek.

In 1961 the County Parks Department bought the first 425 acres from Mrs. Lois (Wallace-McPhee) Allen, land that holds the entrance, picnic grounds and campgrounds. Another 256 acres followed the same year, and the camping facilities opened in 1962. More than 600 acres have been added since, and after 2017 storm damage to trails and Croy Road the park reopened following repairs.

The name Uvas is Spanish for grapes, given to the creek and canyon for the wild grapes once abundant there. The land was the tribal territory of the Mutsun Ohlone before county acquisition. Visitors today walk the 1-mile Waterfall Loop, where five of the park's seven small waterfalls are named on maps and marked with signposts.

The park has multiple trails ranging from short walks to longer hikes for different fitness levels. You will also find picnic areas and camping facilities throughout the grounds.

The park has seven small waterfalls, but only five are named on park maps and marked with signposts: Basin Falls, Black Rock Falls, Granuja Falls, Triple Falls and Upper Falls. The streams are rain- and spring-fed, so the falls are best seen after recent rains.
