The new highway ends east of Clovis so you will take the two-lane Highway 168 the rest of the way to the lake. You will have to make only one turn before you arrive, at a stop sign near the bottom of the four-lane highway.
It is clearly marked with mileage, turn left.
There are signs on hwy. 99 in Kingsburg, well south of Fresno, indicating a route off hwy. 99 starting at that point. We don't recommend this route because of the large number of stop signs.
The Coldwell Banker and Shaver Lake Vacation Rentals office is located right on the highway as you enter the Village area. You can't miss our white building with blue trim. We're on the right side of the highway at 41593 Tollhouse Rd. (hwy 168), at highway 168 and Sparrow Rd. If you get lost, our phone number is 559-841-4000.
