    County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. The Gilroy Hot Springs Road to Coyote Reservoir stretch is the only paddling stretch along Coyote Creek. This is a pretty decent length section, it's good length for a morning trip. There are campgrounds
quite near the river where you can camp. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came.
