"Yes, there are. If you are already in Finder you can use one of them:

In the Go menu, choose Go to Folder… option
Press ⇧ + ⌘ + G

If you want to do it from Dock - press and hold left mouse on Finder icon and choose Go to Folder….

Just paste in modal window your path and press Enter

It will throw an error if the folder does not exist, or the path points to a file. Note also that it opens in your current window, so if you want to Go in a new window you will have to open that window first."

If it is a network path, go to finder and click CMD + K then type smb://servername/drive/file
