More About Kernville
Formerly Rogersville, Kernville was a gold rush town in the 1800s. It was named after the man who discovered gold in the area. Alcohol was not allowed near the mine site, but a saloon soon opened. The town was then renamed “Whiskey Flat.”
In 1864, “Whiskey Flat” was changed to “Kernville,” after the Kern River. The Kern River was named after Edward Kern, an artist, and topographer who accompanied John C. Fremont on one of his expeditions into the West.
Various Outdoor Activities
Because of the Isabella Dam project, the town was moved to its present location. The original site of Kernville is now registered as a California Historical Landmark.
Present-day Kernville is a flourishing town that caters to tourist industries centered on mountain biking, white water rafting, tubing, rock climbing, hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities. Fishing is prevalent in the area, with the golden trout as the most sought-after for catch-and-release fishing by fly fishers.
