Arroyo Hondo (Santa Clara County, California)
- Arroyo Hondo (Santa Clara County, California)
Arroyo Hondo (in Santa Clara County, California, United States) is a river that lies east of Milpitas, California. It is located at coord|37|27|51|N|121|46|32|W|. The area is privately owned by the San Francisco Water Department and is closed to public access because of its usage as drinking water. Bound to the east by Oak Ridge and to the west by Poverty Ridge, Arroyo Hondo empties into the Calaveras Reservoir. Its main source is on Mount Hamilton.
The arroyo still has remnants of native rainbow trout, which several conservation organizations have attempted to protect.
Arroyo Hondo means "deep creek" in Spanish.
