At the northern end of the main Monache Meadows artery, in an area known as the "River Campsite," 20S03D is a short dead-end spur that travels along the western side of the Kern River. Sitting at roughly 7,950 feet above sea level, this easy dirt trail along the river has about five or six campsites supporting groups from four to over ten vehicles. With the river just feet from the campsites, this is a fun place to camp and relax. At the campsites, expect level dirt ground that is perfect for tent camping and a pine forest canopy that will provide plenty of shade. Like most areas in Monache, the trail is very easy, and all offroad vehicles can take this trail.
Just don't forget your floaties and fishing gear.
Please note: This is the Golden Trout Wilderness Area, one of the few areas where golden trout naturally live. Because of this, there are special fishing rules. Please research the rules and regulations before fishing in the area. More information can be found at the "Fish and Game Website."
