audubon kern river preserve

Wonderful, and wild, but lots of bugs. The day was hot, so we were too busy slapping and scratching.

Beautiful, easy hiking, very good for families. Massive, ancient cottonwood trees, grasslands, and a nice visitor center.

This si a riparian area along the Kern River, going from forest stream to wetland, inhabited by an amazing variety of flora and fauna. Cottonwoods to cat-tails, insects to large herons and turkey vultures plus many furry friends - rabbits, squirrels, deer and - hard to catch - coyote and mountain lion now and then. It gets few visitors most of the time, so opportunities to see wildlife and litter-free flora are good.

When you want to escape the everyday pressures this is a must. Man and nature coexisting as they were meant too. The peaceful quite is the most rewarding joy that you can find anywhere but after a short time you begin to realize that being alone can be very tough when you are a people person. I was happy to get myself back to the daily gring

Whether you know about our environment or want to know, this is the place to go. Fun place, informative people. great place for kids to run around and enjoy nature.
