ABOUT USThe Panorama Vista Preserve is located on both sides of the Kern River in north Bakersfield, California. Although the Preserve is private land, it is held in trust for the public by the Kern River Corridor Endowment and Holding Co. (KRCE).The primary purpose of this non-profit 501 (3) c organization is to promote the preservation and scientific understanding of its natural resources, the educational benefits, and appropriate recreational uses which are consistent with the Preserve's identity as a natural area. KRCE holds title to 1044.17 acres altogether, 90% of which is located along the banks of the Kern River, between Panorama Bluffs on the south, the Beardsley Canal and oil fields on the north, Manor Street on the west and historic Gordon's Ferry on the east. Good views of its western portions may be seen from the county-owned Panorama Park on the top of the bluffs.Panorama Vista Preserve contains some of the most beautiful wooded land on the river, with numerous species of plants and animals. It is woven with established horseback riding, hiking, and bicycling paths. It is, in fact, the largest private property component of the Kern River Parkway: three miles of the Parkway's bike path run through the southern edge of the Preserve.At no time will the property
be developed or altered other than in the most
minimal way consistent with the maintenance or enhancement
of the property as a scenic and natural asset of the
community.
