Sequoia Kern Hot Springs

hot springs located inside the south-western part of Sequoia National Forest Sequoia Kern River

on river hot tubsThe alternate choice to Miracle Hot Springs (now closed) on the Lower Kern River. Remington is by far, one of the nicest primtitive hot tubs in the whole region. If you can find it, the rewards are great!! Can be crowded on weekends. If the dirt parking lot is totally full, come back later. These stone tubs are located on the Lower Kern, overlooking the fish. 3 cement & River Rock hot spring pools sit adjacent to the Kern River.

This prime spot is located a few miles west of Miracle Hot Springs & is very low key: dirt parking lot, no signs & the tubs are not viewable from the road. From parking area, you will hike down a steep grassy trail for less than a mile. Bring towels, beverages & everything you will need from the vehicle, as turning around to go back & get everything half way down will prove to be a challenging trail up. Boulders & oaks on steep hillsides. A few campsites down along main trail. Wildflowers here are wonderful in Spring (April-May). Please pick up litter & keep this place beautiful.

West of Kernville
in the Lower Kern Canyon Gorge

Turn off & dirt parking lot is located on Kern Canyon Rd, which runs parrallel along Hwy. 178 on the opposite side of the Kern River.

Clothing Optional

Ardell's Tip: It is one of the few spots in California that you can fish a major river from a hot tub. Yeaaah baby!

Minimal camping spots & little privacy at Remington Hot Springs. Sandy Flat Campground and Hobo Campground are just east & Brenkenridge Campground is on a ridge just south. A few primitive spots are around this Lower Kern River aream, but you will need to check with Sequoia National Forest ranger for gate closures, fire permit & fire current restrictions.
