580 E to 205 E to 5N to 120 E to 99 S to the Slida exit E (219 Clairable Rd.) all the way out to Albers road Left on Albers to the 108 in the Town of Oakdale 120/108 to the town of Jamestown turn left on rawhide road to HWY 49 make a left on 49 follow it to the lake.

WOW that is a mouthful, but it is the way I have been going for years. It takes you longer if you go the 120 route all the way from HWY 99. If you have not used the Rawhide rode cut off before you will be surprised at the time it saves from going up and through Sonora on HWY 49. The road it a bit windy but I have pulled many a boat up there before. Do not go hwy 4, it takes you way up out of your way and the last bit of it after Coperopolis plain SUCKS

Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have-yous
