Upper Silver Creek is a 8.3-mile-long (13.4 km)[1][2] northwestward-flowing stream originating in the Edenvale Hills in southeast San Jose, Santa Clara County, California.

It was diverted for flood control due west where it is tributary to Coyote Creek, whose waters flow to south San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

[5] The creek currently drains an area of over 6 square miles (16 km2) with its source in the Edenvalle Hills of southeast San Jose, California.

[9] In 1962 Upper Silver Creek was reported as an historical migration route and habitat for steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

[10] However, in July 1975, California Department of Fish & Game visually surveyed Upper Silver Creek between the U.S. Highway 101 bridge and the headwaters.
