Ninemile Canyon Rd.
Eastern Sierra Nevada, CA
The murky brown water that rushes past this 6,100-foot elevation campground along the South Fork of the Kern is so cold that ice spears cling to the reeds and branches that reach into the current. I am told the fishing is good here because the California Department of Fish and Game dumps buckets of rainbow and brown trout in these pools from March through November.
From U.S. 395, just north of the Inyo County line, take Ninemile Canyon Road west for about 25 miles and follow the signs to Kennedy Meadows. The campground has 38 sites, bathrooms and running water. A small general store operates on the road just outside the campground.
wherever it appears.
