"Decent place for a stroller walk"
Sawyer Camp gets very crowded on weekends. The first 1/2 mile is usually clogged with bicyclists. You have to get passed the crowds to be able to relax.
It can get windy, and some sections of trail are completely exposed.
I came here a lot when my oldest was an infant because the paved trail was ideal for my stroller. Now that my kids are walking on their own, Sawyer Camp is not as appealing. Making sure my kids don't careen into the path of an oncoming bike is stressful.

"If you have a toddler best start..."
north and head south. While the trail is great for walking, blading, and riding, if you have a little one who like to explore his/her surroundings the main trailhead can be a bit congested with too many wheels coming at too many little feet. The northern sections seem to be a lot less populated on the weekends so little ones can stop and explore and moms and dads don't have to consistently be checking to make sure someone isn't fast approaching.

"Bike, Rollerblade or walk.."
Bike, rollerblade, walk or take a stroller along this beautiful lake setting.
People of all ages come to this beautifully paved path. You can walk for miles and miles and enjoy the sun or shade. Sawyer Camp trail has many animasl along the path too. Sometimes if you are lucky, you will see baby bunnies that the kids will LOVE!

"Crystals on the water"
You see the sun shine crystals on the water or misty clouds hang low over the mountains. Along Crystal Springs Reservoir, there is a widely paved popular trail for walkers, strollers, roller bladers and bikers. The Sawyer Camp Trail is to the west of I-280 approachable from Hayne/Black Mountain Road and stretches to the southern gate off of Millbrae Ave. Great view of the reservoir, mountains, and oaks. There are park benches for resting along the way, restroom near the gate, and picnic areas in the north end. Go only part way if 6 miles is too far a hike.
