The trail is unusual in that it does not run alongside a creek but instead crosses creeks.
History
The trail was previously a Union Pacific railway line as part of the Willow Glen Spur of the San Jose Branch line. A train used to travel to and from a cannery. The tracks were abandoned by the early part of 2000s decade.
As of 2013 the trail was under development. Most of the western alignment was usable although mainly as dirt track. A trestle bridge, the Willow Glen Trestle, was built in 1921 and crossed the Los Gatos Creek near Lonus Street.
