15 Best Things To Do in Fremont, California

Picture of Fremont, California

About Fremont, California


Fremont is near the popular Silicon Valley, which is why it isn’t as well-known as it should be. The city is filled with attractions, including the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, featuring spell-binding scenery close to the Dumbarton Bridge, which is quite majestic itself.

Next to the wildlife refuge is the Coyote Hills Regional Park, which covers 1200 acres of land and provides several activities, such as photography, bicycling, hiking, and birdwatching. Another large green area in the city is the Mission Peak Regional Preserve, covering 3000 acres of land.

Meanwhile, the Niles Canyon Railway runs throughout the city, connecting famous attractions and important cultural points, such as the Shinn Historical Gardens, Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum, and Central Park.

Alameda Creek Trail

The Alameda Creek Regional Trail is a 12-mile hiking trail that follows Alameda Creek in California. It begins at the mouth of Niles Canyon near Fremont and continues west into San Francisco Bay. It is relatively easy to access the Coyote Hills regional park, while another 3.5-mile loop trail will guide hikers into or from Coyote Hills looping onto the Alameda Creek Trail. The Alameda Creek Trail is extremely well-received by wildlife-watching people because Alameda Creek has numerous birds and other species to visit. The route is obtainable from several trailheads in Fremont, Newark, and Union City.

Visit Stanford’s campus

Visit Stanford University, founded in 1885 and affectionately called The Farm. The Main quad is a tourist attraction for Stanford visitors with its beautiful California Mission Revival architecture. Take some pictures of Hoover Tower while you’re there! If you’re looking to get some exercise, take the Stanford Dish hike. It’s the University’s most popular trail network and contains a radio telescope used for educational activities. You may need some time to get acquainted with the internationally renowned institution, but it’s possible for anyone to visit the scenic site.

Coyote Hills Regional Park

Coyote Hills Regional Park is a popular destination for those seeking outdoor recreation and beautiful scenery. The park covers 2600 acres and is situated opposite the Dumbarton Bridge, with stunning views of the Bay. Coyote Hills is home to a variety of bird species and features an extensive marshland environment with rolling hills.

The Coyote Hills visitor center is a great starting point for exploring the park, and special guided tours are available to learn about the Ohlone people who once lived there.
