McClellan Ranch Preserve provides over 18 acres of rural looking ranch, still retains original ranch house, a working milk barn and livestock barn, and a replica of blacksmiths shop, along with a natural reserve in the middle of the park. There is a scenic trail right next to Stevens Creek, which leads to Blackberry Farm. There is also accessible trail from McClellan ranch to Blackberry farm.
Black Berry farm (around 30+ acres) has Swimming pool, large picnic areas, a Café, Volley Ball court, Bocce ball Court, Horse shoe pit and a children’s play structure. Blackberry farm has picnic area which accommodates 200+ people.
Good thing is you can find this nature haven right in the middle of Cupertino City.
