Chances are, you’ve enjoyed some beautiful blue, or greenish, lakes in your lifetime. But have you seen a beautiful pink lake before?
San Jose’s Alviso Marina County Park has a very high salinity level, which can – with favorable timing – result in salt-loving microorganisms living in the water turning it a deep pink.

The effect is especially pronounced at sunset.

There’s also a mostly flat, dirt trail around the lake (but a few steps to get down to the trail).


For more about visiting this awesome trail, including accessibility information, see here.
