    The beauty of Lake Stockton is reason enough to stop by. This place rocks, just look at all the amusing things to do close to Lake Stockton. There are some brilliant whitewater spots on Kern River; do take a hike on the Old Sled Trail. Lake Stockton is a location that is reasonably dehydrated ordinarily; the month of January is the wettest with most of the rain while July is mostly the driest month. You're possibly hooked on lakes, Lake Engle is one of those close  
   by, and the skiing at Shirley Meadow is great.
This lake is so wonderful. Basket Peak is a peak you can spot from Lake Stockton, and hiking along the Bull Run Cattle Drive is delightful fun. Through the summer months highs here at Lake Stockton reach the 90's. Summer nighttime lows dip down to the 50's. High temperatures during the winter are normally in the 50's; through the dark hours in the winter at Lake Stockton temperatures drop to the 20's. This lake
 
               is so wonderful. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Virginia Trail, and if you came for an overnight stay Davis Campground is a wonderful place to camp.
All year is a splendid time in the Southern Sierra Nevada if you love the outdoors. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Kern River; this is a popular place for people from Bakersfield. So many amusing things to do here in the Southern Sierra Nevada, too good to be true. Evans Flat Campground is a splendid local campground It's always nice to explore Burnt Spring.

Hobo Campground
I camped here about 5 years ago and really enjoyed it. I did not do any white water rafting but I did do some hiking around the campground which was quite nice. Camp sites were clean and far enough apart to have decent privacy....

...E unrunable) There are actually two putin locations.
1. LAT 35.439250 LON -118.802450 This put in is impossible to get to without trespassing. So you need special permission. It's located right below the Rio Bravo Hydroelectric Dam. This section is actually a class IV followed by two class V's. I've done the entire Kern, it's definitely V. You can only do this extra section during very high water years because the Power plant diverts most of the water along this stretch.
2. LAT 35.429084 LON 118.825602 Also, on private property with no public access. Only Search and Rescue, Kayak Olympic Team, and River's End Rafting have access to this putin. There is also a public access point on racheria rd. There is a little trail to get there just past the gated community gates. I believe there is still a sign. It's not a long hike. That point gives you 5 miles of very fun class II and III rapids, swimming areas, rope swings, etc. Be aware that many people have died along this section of the river because they were not wearing a life jacket. It's better to do this section with a professio...
