Enjoy Whiskey Flat Days in Kernville

Although there are cities named Kernville in both Oregon and Pennsylvania, only the one in California allows tourists staying in Kernville holiday homes to enjoy white water rafting along the nearby Kern River. The river, in fact, is a central reason why visitors come here throughout the year, though tourism peaks during the spring and summer seasons when fishing, including fly-fishing, is at its best. Local species include the golden trout, which is available for catch and release.

Downtown Kernville is a charming place to spend time looking through the local shops because it has the look of an old town from the Wild West. Restaurants and antique stores are among the various local businesses in this area of town. Those who are interested in history will also want to head over to the Kern Valley Museum, which captures the past through displays of historical artifacts found in the area.

About 25 miles to the north, tourists can visit the Needles, a large granite formation. It is here, among other places near Kernville, that wilderness activities such as hiking and rock climbing are popular. Mountain biking is also an activity many visitors enjoy, and local shops in Kernville are happy to supply vacationers with everything they need for an enjoyable bicycling trip through the local wilderness.

An excellent time to visit Kernville is during the President's Day Weekend each year since then, the town puts on Whiskey Flat Days, a festival that includes a rodeo and a wild west shootout. Thousands of locals and tourists annually attend.
