Uvas Canyon County Park

Uvas Canyon spreads across 1,147 acres of mountainous terrain with seven small waterfalls flowing into tributaries that merge with Uvas Creek.

Native Mutsun Ohlone Indians inhabited the land until 1961, when the County Parks Department acquired the first 425 acres from Mrs. Lois Allen.

The name Uvas, meaning grapes in Spanish, reflects the natural abundance of wild grapes that previously grew throughout the canyon area.

The park maintains 7.2 miles of hiking trails, including a one-mile Waterfall Loop, plus designated areas for picnicking and overnight camping.

Five named waterfalls - Basin Falls, Black Rock Falls, Granuja Falls, Triple Falls, and Upper Falls - flow continuously throughout the year.
