From north Berkeley, go over the ridge through Tilden park, past Inspiration Point to San Pablo Dam Road. Procede on Bear Creek Road, past the power station, Briones Dam, Briones Lake, and back down the hill to the headwaters of the lake. After the road turns left to the north you will pass a road from the right. Shortly and again to the right is the park entrance. A modest parking fee is charged on weekends.
Parking is inside the park near large grassy areas sutable for picnicing and frisbee.
Nearby low hills are ideal for kite flying. Take Withers west to Releze Station Road. Take Releze Station Road north. There is a park entrance and staging area to your left on this road. From here you can hike to the west upward to Sindich Lagoon area.
