We went for Memorial Day weekend, it was decorated with 1000 flags and people were quietly respectful.

The park is lovely but it is discouraging to walk along the bed of a dried-up River. There were some interesting wildflowers along the path, including jimson weed. The path is best reached from a lovely park with a small pond on the middle. There are areas for picnic and a playground for kids.

Clean, Beautiful and inviting, with lots of ducks, geese and water fowl to enjoy. Beautiful winding walk paths and an excellent bicycle path.

This is a very popular place to walk or jog. It has wide walking paths allowing passing other pedestrians easily. There are two lakes connected by a flowing brook. It attracts a variety of water fowl year round.

When is the next fishing derby?

Master Fox | Feb 9, 2018
Charles Shinn | Feb 10, 2018

Parks & Recreation department are currently working on the two lake's & river channel, moving rocks & clearing away growth which has clogged the water way. It may be a week or two before work is done, so fishing derby is not happening for some time. River water levels are reduced now, also affecting fish populations. Hope this helps you.

Can kids and adult play in the water or swim at the river walk??

Anita Olivares | Feb 9, 2020
Michael Howard | Feb 10, 2020

There isnt a specific location that is set aside for swimming. The man-made pond is for fishing and eventhough the Kern River is currently flowing next time to it, there is trash floating in the river and the presence on chemical runoff. I do not recommend it.
