ABOUT THE PANORAMA VISTA PRESERVE:

The Panorama Vista Preserve is located on both sides of the Kern River. Through its re-vegetation projects, it is increasingly an oasis where people come to enjoy a bit of tranquility. Here, they escape urban hub-bub and enjoy sounds and sights of nature. Oildale is to the west and Gordon's Ferry to the east, the Beardsley Canal and oil fields to the north, and the historic Panorama Bluffs to the south. The Preserve is private land held in trust for the public; it's owner is the Kern River Corridor Endowment and Holding Co. (KRCE), a non-profit 501(3)(c) entity; its Board of Directors are unpaid volunteers.

It is open to the public for gentle use and is in this way a gift to the community.

Kern River Conservancy's Charity 6K/11K Run at historic Kernville and Whiskey Flat trail is a community-driven event dedicated to raising funds to support the Kern River Conservancy's mission of keeping the Kern River clean and protected. Runners and outdoor enthusiasts of all levels come together to enjoy a scenic course through the historic Keysville area while contributing to conservation efforts. Proceeds from the race go directly toward trash cleanups, habitat restoration, and public education programs that promote responsible recreation along the Kern River. This event not only raises awareness about environmental stewardship on the Kern River, but also fosters a strong sense of community involvement in preserving one of California’s most cherished natural resources.

Registration and bib pick up will be 9:00am - 9:45am
