- To get to ferry:
- Turn onto the Diablo Dam Access Road, close to mile marker 127 on Highway 20.

- Shuttle to Ross Lake Resort by truck $7/person RT (Cash)
We have 3 boats reserved for Thursday-Sunday: about $100 per person
Packing
- Try to pack things very well. With the ferry/truck/boat route there is a lot of transferring involved and things will roll all over the place if you have open bags etc and paper grocery bags will rip.
- Put stuff in large containers or duffel bags or something handy so you don’t have to transfer dozens of small bags.
