Madera County Road 620 is an approximately six-mile-long rural highway in the Sierra Nevada range north of Oakhurst. The corridor spans from California State Route 41 west to Madera County Road 628.

What is now Madera County Road 620 was originally built as a trail from Bissett's Station at the Fresno-Yosemite Road (now Old Yosemite Road) west to the junction of the Mariposa Road (now Road 628) and the Wawona Stage Road (now Miami Mountain Road).
