I meant to post these photos earlier, but got busy! I went up the Kern River Canyon on Easter to get a look at the water. Spoiler alert: It’s BIGGGG!

The Kern River runs close to Highway 178 in this April 9, 2023 photos when releases from Isabella Dam were 5,200 cubic feet per second.
As of April 22, releases were up to 5,900 cfs. Lois Henry / SJV Water
