- Walking
- Riding a bike
- Taking a taxi or using a ride sharing service, such as Lyft or Uber
- Taking a Unitrans "W" bus (Unitrans is the UC Davis bus line) from the Amtrak station to the Silo (an eatery / bus stop on campus). From there, it is a 1-mile (paved) walk along the creek to the Putah Creek Lodge.
From Sacramento
- Take a Yolobus (the Yolo County bus line) from Sacramento to UC Davis. Choose one of the Yolobuses that stop at the UC Davis Memorial Union, which is the closet stop for Putah Creek Lodge. It is a little over 1 mile from the Memorial Union to Putah Creek Lodge.
