Welcome to Lake Isabella

Surrounded by the spectacular Sequoia National Forest in beautiful, scenic Kern River Valley, just two and a half hours north of Los Angeles. Beautiful Lake Isabella is located in the southern Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in central California. Our picturesque 9-mile long lake features 40 miles of pristine, wide-open shore, lined with natural coves and beaches. Enjoy fishing all year, free boat launch ramps nearby, and marinas serving all your needs, including watercraft rentals. The “Wild and Scenic” Kern River flows from the upper Sierras into our beautiful lake, so our visitors can enjoy every water activity and scenic vista imaginable!
