✨Spring is in the air, and the Kern River Valley is coming to life!  The March Equinox marks the perfect time to shake off the winter chill and step outside.

Did you know the word ‘equinox’ comes from the Latin words aequis (equal) and nox (night)? That’s because, during the equinox, day and night are nearly the same length all over the world!

#1 Spring is when nature is wakes up

Nature is waking up all around Kernville! Take a stroll along the Kern River and watch for early wildflowers like California poppies, fiddleneck, red stem filaree and owl’s clover blooming along the trails. Listen for the calls of red-tailed hawk or spot a bald eagle soaring overhead. Near the riverbanks, pacific chorus frogs enjoying the sunshine just like we are!

#2 Springtime on the Kern is an angler’s paradise

If you’re an angler, spring means fish are becoming more active as they search for food and prime spots to spawn. Midday will be the best time to fish these waters. Grab your rod and find your spot on the banks of Kern River and Lake Isabella.

#3 It’s the perfect temp for outdoor adventures

With winter giving way to milder temperatures, spring offers the perfect climate for outdoor adventures. The weather is just right—not too hot, not too cold—making it ideal for hiking, biking, and river rafting. The comfortable temperatures allow you to enjoy longer days outdoors exploring everything Kernville has to offer.
