From the Lake Isabella dam, data now reads...

​

(293.5) 3m DR/XC/DR Go along the edge of the lake on a dirt road. In 0.5m, pass by the French Gulch Marina then go XC on the rocky shoreline, to a bridge. Go under it then cross French Gulch. A trail leads up to French Culch CG ($25/night). Pass by the Piute Nuui Cunni Interpretive Center then follow a jeep road from it, 1.4m, to the Boulder Gulch CG ($25/night). Skirt Hwy 155 on a jeep road, on the upper side of the BG CG, then join the Hwy.

​

(296.5) 2m Rte 155 Avoid private property. Follow Rte 155 into Wofford Heights. Enter Tillie Creek CG. ($25/night) *The post office is on Rte 155, 0.05m past the Tillie Creek CG turnoff.

 

(298.5) 2.8m DR From the entrance station, go right. Pass by the Amphitheater parking. Cross a spillway then go thru a closed section of the CG. In 0.1m, go right - at site 113 - then in another 0.05m leave the camp’s perimeter road, at site 118. Follow a sandy road 0.4m to Wofford Heights Park (visible). *This park has tables, playgrounds, and restrooms with water. The Mt. N. Lake Motel is across the street. Turn right onto E Evans Rd and go 0.3m. The blacktop ends here but the road keeps going. *Go right here to visit 3 Crosses. Go left then travel above a fenced-in maintenance shack. 0.4m from the shack, the Lakeshore Lodge is accessible. *Look for the bucket-lift trucks. 0.6m past Lakeshore Lodge, stealth camping options end.

(301.3) 2.5m DR/Rte 155 *Kern River can be accessed from the cemetery. From old Kern Valley Cemetery, climb to Rte 155, cross it, then follow a dirt road which parallels it.
