Crystal spring Reservoir is also located in San Mateo, CA. There are several trails near this reservoir. Some trails run very close to the reservoir. We visited this place very close to the sunrise. We were able to see some colors in the sky and also reflection in the water. There is a smaller parking lot right on Skyline Blvd at the south entrance of sawyer camp recreation trail.
The trail we took is paved and a multipurpose trail, meant for cycling as well as walking. Round trip is around 3 miles to the parking lot. It is always fun to walk right next to huge body of water. During weekends Canada road which is further south, which is right next to the reservoir is only open to cyclists and closed for automobiles.
Here is the map of the area and trail.
Here are few pictures from the hike!
A small parking lot at the trail head, which is right on Hwy 35. In fact this was missing from the map, I ended up adding to the map.

Interesting plant on the trail. Need to look up what this is?
Even though it is a short trail around 2.5 mile round trip. There is a well maintained restroom.
