The Lexington Reservoir makes a scenic start to the trail, regardless of which path you take

Signs posted offer different routes for the trail

 

Those who wish to embark on the trail have the option to make their hike as long or as short as they want to, thanks to the trail’s several entrances and exits. For the more ambitious, entering at the very beginning of the trail that leads from the Lexington trail to downtown Los Gatos is a great option. This portion of the trail is divided into two paths. On the western side of the reservoir lies a smooth, easily navigable path along an old railroad. On the eastern side, the more adventurous can choose to take the connecting Jones and Flume trails. Both of these paths lead to the same location, and the next stop on the Los Gatos Creek Trail, which is downtown Los Gatos.
