Wofford Heights is a census-designated place (CDP) in the southern Sierra Nevada, in Kern County, California, United States.

Wofford Heights is located in the west Kern River Valley, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south-southwest of Kernville,[6] at an elevation of 2,684 feet (818 m).

[4] California State Route 155 is the only highway in Wofford Heights, leading south to Lake Isabella and west through Alta Sierra and the Greenhorn Mountains.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 6.4 square miles (17 km2), all of it land.

[7] Here, the summers can be brutal and have reached as high as 113 °F (45 °C) while the winters are a bit more mild and have gone as low as −3 °F (−19 °C).

[8] Wofford Heights' eastern front borders Lake Isabella.

There are two major access points to the lake from Wofford Blvd: The first is the entrance to North Fork Marina and Tillie Creek Campground, and the second is Freear which is at the very end of East Evans Road near Wofford Heights Park.

[6] It was a location for the 1970 biker film Angels Die Hard.

As of 2019 the Lake Isabella area was considered a "very high fire hazard severity zone" due to desert winds and the nearby Sequoia National Forest.

In addition, the median age of residents is 62, and many live on narrow roads which would be poor escape routes.
