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]
