About This Access Site
The Lake Isabella RV Resort offers easy access to the expansive Lake Isabella reservoir in Kern County, California. The resort features a free, concrete boat ramp that allows paddlers, canoeists, and boaters to launch directly into the lake.

Lake Isabella is an 11,000-acre reservoir fed by the "Wild and Scenic" Kern River, offering a variety of aquatic recreation opportunities. The lake is known for its abundant trout, bass, crappie, catfish, and other fish species, making it a popular destination for anglers. Nearby campgrounds like Halfway Group Campground, Hobo Campground, and Camp 9 provide additional access points and amenities for those exploring the lake by water.

While the Lake Isabella Visitor Center is currently located in the town of Lake Isabella, the resort itself provides a convenient launching point for accessing the broader recreational offerings of the area, including the nearby Kiavah Wilderness and Keysville Special Recreation Management Area. Paddlers and boaters can enjoy the scenic setting and ample opportunities for fishing, wildlife viewing, and on-water exploration at this well-equipped access site.
