Directions:
Northbound: Take Highway 101 North to the Central San Rafael Exit. Make a left turn on Third Street. Stay on Third. It will turn into Sir Francis Drake Blvd. Stay on Sir Francis Drake until you get to Fairfax town limits. You will go over a small hill and as you head down look for a Valero gas station on your left. Make a left immediately after the gas station at the wooden Fairfax sign (unfortunately there is a well hidden street sign that many motorist do not see, but the cross-street is Pacheco). At the stop sign make a right onto Broadway. At the next stop sign make a left onto Bolinas Rd. Go up Bolinas road approximately 1.5 miles (you will pass the Deer Park Villa restaurant). At 700 Bolinas Road there is a wooden sign on your left saying Lake Lagunitas. Make that left turn onto Sky Oaks Road; go up approximately 1/4 mile and Sky Oaks Watershed Headquarters is on the left at the crest of the hill. You are also at the entrance to Lagunitas and Bon Tempe Lakes. (If you miss the Sky Oaks Road turn-off and you get to the Meadow Club golf course you have gone too far). A $7.00 Vehicle Entrance Fee is required daily. The Lagunitas picnic area is about 1.5 miles beyond the entrance Kiosk/Pay Station. After you have paid your entrance fee, stay on the paved road and within a mile or so you will come to a long straightaway and then a T-intersection. Go right at the intersection; within 100 yards you will be at the Lake Lagunitas parking area.
