Been coming to this place for about 20 years now and it's one of the best spots along the kern River. Plenty of space and shade to just relax and enjoy nature. It got flooded in 2023 so the parking was pushed back almost by the street, but hopefully in the future they allow to park inside as before. It was way more convenient.
