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. [4]
