Members and future members are welcome to join in the fun, experience the magnificent Kern, enjoy chats and potluck meals, and learn more about the River Management Society. About the Kern:The Kern River is one of the few river systems in the Sierra Nevada that flows in a north/south orientation. Congress added the North Fork to the federal Wild and Scenic Rivers system in 1987. The South Fork begins in the Golden Trout Wilderness east of Cottonwood Pass on the Inyo National Forest and flows south into the South Sierra and Domeland Wilderness areas on the Sequoia National Forest. The river possesses an astounding array of scenic, recreational, fish, geological, historical, cultural, and ecological values. Trip Basics:Tent camping is available in RMS Pacific Chapter Vice President Leigh Karp's yard or car camping at any of the pay/free BLM/FS Campgrounds in the area that can be found at Recreation.gov including Tillie Creek campground 0.3 miles down the road from the cabin. Shuttles will be arranged the day of each trip. All meals will be on your own. More information about camping, meals, and logistics, including maps, are available in the trip packet.
