The preserve's southern boundary is across the street from Springtown, a section of Livermore that is north of the I-580. You can reach the park from Livermore by taking Vasco Road into Springtown, turning right onto Northfront Road (Altamont Pass Road), and then turning left onto Laughlin Road. As you drive north along Laughlin Road, you can see Brushy Peak Preserve on the right and housing developments to the left. After this section of Laughlin Road, the road narrows to a one-lane road with ranches on either side. The road winds through a short canyon before reaching the staging area, where a ranch is located.
