Getting around Lake Forest with a driver
Lake Forest is easy to drive but easy to mix up, since several communities share similar street names. A few details make the pickup clean.
Name the community
Foothill Ranch, Baker Ranch and Portola Hills are the names visitors hear most, and smaller communities such as Montbury on the Hill, Sycamore Creek and Le Parc sit inside the city too. Send the full street address and we plan from there.
Parks and trails
Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park is listed by OC Parks at 26701 Portola Parkway. Heritage Hill Historical Park, at 25151 Serrano Road, has no entrance fee, and its buildings are open to the public during tours. Tell us the tour time and we work back from it.
Hotels
The city lists hotels on both sides of town. Hilton Garden Inn Irvine East/Lake Forest is on Towne Centre Drive in Foothill Ranch, and Homewood Suites and a second Hilton Garden Inn are on Lake Center Drive. Give us the hotel and the guest name when you book.
The airport side
John Wayne Airport is roughly 12 to 15 road miles away, depending on the source and the starting point. Long Beach is about 35 road miles, and LAX is about 52. We plan the pickup time with you around your flight.
Church and community events
Saddleback Church has a Lake Forest campus on Saddleback Parkway, and the Community Center is at 100 Civic Center Drive. For a large event, send the end time you expect and we arrange the ride home.
Families
An SUV takes up to six people with luggage, and child seats are available if you ask when you book.
Business arrivals
Someone visiting a Foothill Ranch employer such as Oakley may fly into SNA and need a ride straight to a meeting. Send the company address, the time of the meeting and the flight, and we plan the pickup around them.
Guests from out of town
Friends and family visiting Lake Forest can have a car waiting. Book it for them with their name, the arrival details and the address they are going to.
