Directions to trailhead: As you enter Fairfax on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard jog left when you see the movie theater and make an immediate right. This puts you on the street that parallels Sir Francis Drake, but is on the other side of the Parkade.Make the first left which is Bolinas Avenue. Follow the Bolinas-Fairfax Road for about 1 mile. Turn left onto Sky Oaks Road. You’ll need to pay at the kiosk ($8/day; or purchase a pass for $60 for Marin residents, $30 for seniors 62 and older, good through next January; pay with $1, $5 and $10 bills or Visa or Mastercard. $20 bills are NOT accepted by the pay station.
Follow the paved road on to Lake Lagunitas. We’ll have lunch at the picnic area at Lake Lagunitas so you don’t need to carry the food for the potluck.
Time: 30 minutes from College of Marin. Restrooms at trailhead, portables en route. (Carpoolers can meet at St. Rita's around 9:15-9:20 am).
Weather forecast: As of Sunday, March 14, the National Weather Service forecast for the hike was mostly sunny with a high near 64 and west northwest wind between 3 and 11 mph.
More on this hike: Hike "C13 Bon Tempe Lake Trail" in the Martins' book, Hiking Marin, shows the general area where we will be hiking. However, we'll start and end at trail junction #2 on their map, rather than at Bon Tempe dam. (Click here for an MMWD map that shows this area).
