From the national road, follow the  sign towards Lipa City. Upon reaching Total Gas station to your left, turn right  to the road across it. When you reach the steel bridge, slow down and turn right  on the first small road, across the barangay hall. Drive straight on rough roads  until you reach a clearing going uphill to your left. Walk uphill until you  reach the lake. – members.virtualtourist.com
