Alameda Creek Trail is a 12-mile-long hiking trail along the banks of Alameda Creek in southern Alameda County. It runs from the mouth of Niles Canyon near Fremont, going westward to San Francisco Bay. The trail provides fairly easy access to Coyote Hills Regional Park, and an additional 3.5-mile loop trail takes hikers into and out of Coyote Hills, looping back onto the Alameda Creek Trail. The distance qualifies the trail for marathon runs. The trail can be accessed from several trailheads in Fremont, Newark, and Union City and it is very popular with nature watchers since Alameda Creek is home to a number of birds and other animals.
