Welcome to Kernville

Where the river flows and time slows

Tucked into the southern Sierra Nevada where the Kern River carves through granite canyon walls, Kernville is a small mountain town with big character. Browse local restaurants and cafés, discover one-of-a-kind shops, find a place to stay, set up camp, or check out what's happening in town.

Slow down, explore, and experience Kernville at its best.
