From North County, take Hwy 78 (or Hwy 67) to Ramona, and then continue on Hwy 78 just past Julian, to Hwy 79. Take Hwy 79 south approximately 8 miles.

The mine itself is off a small state park road that is well-signed in both directions and to the east of Hwy 79. There is a California State Park day-use parking fee.

Carpooling is recommended. Meet in the parking lot. Bring a lunch for an after-walk picnic. Expect warm weather. We should see mountain birds as well as waterfowl at the lake.
