the EASIEST Real_way to LakeDelValle

i googled it and it sends me to the otherside of lake?! WTF?!

I know the exit is S.Livermore ave. off of Hwy580 E.

but everytime it tells me to exit Springtown blvd/First st.

i'm sure someone will be misdirected too.

can some one post the EASIEST ROUTE?

Yeah, me and Fishmaster got lost last time....D'OH!
What is the easiest way to get there from the 580???

580 to N Livermore Ave...  keep going thru town and turn R on Mines Road.

does this work?...i'm learning still.

click the paper clip for easy directions...maybe?

Sound good to me

580 to N Livermore Ave...  keep going thru town and turn R on Mines Road.

Exactly! Just go straight through town on Livermore Ave. You'll start to see some vineyards and after a 90 degree left curve in the road you'll see the stop light at Mines Rd. Turn right on Mines and follow the signs directly to the lake.

Note: Mines Rd will actually become a different road as you climb the hills, but no worries, just stay on the main road and it takes you straight to the lake.

Yep, that'll take you to the main entrance/launch ramp area. I think there is another route on maps at least, but your PDF file is the way we go.

  The way I'm going from Santa Cruz co. is 17 to 680 to 84/Valicitos RD, going right at Y remaining on Valicitos Rd. up to to the first big intersection Concannon blvd. then going Right, and staying on it till it "Tee" into S. livermore.  Going right again and staying on S.Livermore/Tesla rd till I see Mines rd then going right on Mines.  (About 1 mile down) staying on Mines to the lake.

If you are coming from the south bay or Santa Cruz/Monterey area, Troy nailed it - 680 N to 84 E/Valicitos Rd, etc.  Those are the directions given to me every time, and I too use google.  I don't know what gives.

I attached Google's directions from San Jose, just pick it up from 680 N.  Not exactly sure where the starting point is - maybe center of SJ?

Thanks, guys, I'll try that way too.  I just figured it was faster to blast up 680 to 580, only takes a few minutes from the 84 turnoff, (if there's no traffic or cops).

From the Bay area it's.580 east exit Airport west. Then right on 84. The next turn will be Concanon left. Concanon dead ends on Mines Rd. right, then watch for Del Valle sign about 1 mile right.

the easiest way is to take vasco rd south take a right at the end of the road on tesla rd, left on mines all the way to the gate. no down town to mess with.

Mapquest did the same thing to me, I even stopped at agas station, of course I get the only guy in town who doesn't know there is a lake.  I feel your pain.  Stormscrambler hooked me up on direction on the way back!

You guys are all wrong, here is the easiest way from San Jose to DV!

    :smt044Ok let me se if I got this right, 280 to 101 out to 237, then up to 84 W take that up to 92, then back across to 880 follow that to 680 then down to 580.  Ok perfectly clear as muddy water!

Damn good thing I know how to get there!
