Peaceful Quarry Lakes: Photo Of The Day

FREMONT, CA — C Imura captured this captivating sunset last Friday evening at Quarry Lakes. Do you know the history of this park? Gravel mined from the quarries in the 1800s was used to build the transcontinental railroad. If you've ridden the Niles Canyon Railway, you know that it is a segment of the transcontinental railroad.

If you would like to visit Quarry Lakes Regional Park after the coronavirus health order is lifted, they offer boating, fishing, hiking, biking and swimming. For now, feel free to stroll around the area while maintaining social distancing.

Thank you for sharing this lovely photo!

If you have a photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
