This question has come up so many times that I have saved the following directions. Living just East of this route in Yuba City I can tell you it is a fine route. I lived in the area almost 60 years and traveled the route hundreds of times. I do not like 299 because of the twists and turns. It is a beautiful route though.
Take Highway 20 West out of Williams. 37.1 miles.
Watch for Highway 53 as you drop down a hill after a fairly long climb. Easy climb and multiple lanes.
Turn what would be South onto 53. You will go about 8 miles. Look for the sign to Highway 29 which leads to Kelseyville. This is a nice road and will become freeway in a few miles. Eventually you are back to two lane for a short distance and will come to a stop sign. You are back to Highway 20 again. This leg is about 30 miles. Turn left and enjoy the beautiful drive right to 101
This route will bypass the two lane twisting and winding on the North side of Clear lake. If you want a good view of the lake go ahead and stay on 20 all the way to 101.
