     From the 101 freeway, exit north onto state route 33.  

     Five miles north of the intersection with the 101 freeway, (at the Foster Park exit)  the speed limit drops to 35 and it changes from four lanes to two.  North Ventura Avenue merges with 33 at this point, and from there, street signs show it variously as North Ventura Avenue and 33.

     You can proceed north on 33 to Baldwin Road and turn left, or ...

     The Scenic Route...

     Exit 33 as it narrows to two lanes at Casitas Vista Road. 

     Loop around to the right, proceed under the freeway, over the dry Ventura River bed,  and turn right onto Casitas Vista Road.  

     A short distance beyond, turn right again onto Santa Ana Road, over the bridge, toward the Casitas Lake entrance.

 

     Lake Casitas Recreational Area will be visible on your left as you drive ten miles north.

     Visitors from Santa Barbara can take a scenic route of their own by exiting the 101 Freeway at the CA150-Ojai exit.  A 15-mile drive east  through the farms and orange groves along Casitas Pass Road will take you to the intersection of Baldwin and Santa Ana Road.  

     Follow Santa Ana south past the park entrance for a mile. The road will curve left at the lake shore.  The event entrance is a half mile past the curve.
