Kern River Slough was the distributary of the Kern River running northwest from the vicinity of Bakersfield[1] to Goose Lake near Tulare Lake in Kern County, California.
[2] These former bodies of water in the Tulare Lake Basin of the San Joaquin Valley have now all been diverted for agricultural use.
[3] The Kern River Slough Station was a stagecoach station operated by the Butterfield Overland Mail and was located miles to the southeast of this slough.
