Kern River Parkway

I took my dog here to run around and play and he loved it. We will definitely be making this his new park.

Took my bike out recently to explore. Getting to the trail by bike can be intimidating with all the traffic but once on the actual path, it's quite scenic.

The Kern River Parkway Bike Trail goes through the city you can take it as a short cut to go to Downtown Bakersfield. Once in Downtown you can go to the GET Bus Station on a bicycle. Run errands on the bus. At the Get Bus Station, Kern Regional Transit has a bike rack on front of bus Kern Regional Transit goes to several cities. Kern River Bike Trail is over 20 miles long. A common fish in Kern River is Bass fish. Fishing license is $47.01 for Adult Resident. Lifetime resident fishing licenses for ages 10-39 – $846.75. Lifetime resident fishing licenses for ages 40-61 – $763 Lifetime resident fishing licenses for ages 62 and above – $518.25 A good trail for exercise: cycling, jogging, walking. If you go north on California Ave. turn left on Mohawk the is a free calisthenics gym. Restrooms and drinking fountains near Parkway at other parks along the trail. Barbecue grill and outdoor shower.

This stretch of land offers very scenic views of the river and surrounding wildlife during the day but can be very frightening for night time visitors due to some of the transient inhabitants that aren't of the friendliest nature who dwell there. Visit with caution after dark.

Cool trail along the river. Not to crowded. Passes by the University.
