We will be traveling along an unpaved, dirt path, which is less than 1/2 mile to a bat house locality.

Organized groups such as homeschool, scouts, etc., must submit a program application request to book a private program for your group.

From Fremont, drive north on I-680 and exit at Calaveras Road (near the town of Sunol).

Turn right at the exit onto Calaveras Road and proceed about four miles to a left turn onto Geary Road, which leads directly into the park. (If you find yourself driving uphill on a narrow winding road you’ve missed the Geary Road turnoff). To reach the visitor center take the first left after the park entrance.

From the Oakland-Berkeley area, drive east on I-580 to the junction with I-680. Take I-680 south and exit at Calaveras Road/Highway 84 just south of the Sunol exit.

At the bottom of the exit, turn left onto Calaveras Road and proceed as noted above.
