Would recommend Cheryl’s Diner for breakfast or lunch! Not a lot to do in town, but there are places to hike, camping and water sports available.

Kernville is a nice little town. It's a great place to come and relax, go hiking, rafting and in the winter it's close to the skiing in Alta Sierra.

5/5 - Excellent
