The Freeway Ridge 4wd trail is 1.5 miles long. It begins at Freeway (Hwy 178) and ends at Black Gulch 4wd road.
Keysville (formerly Keyesville) is a historic mining area that offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities. Set in rolling terrain amidst a blue oak and foothill pine woodland, Keysville is dissected by the lower Kern River. A little exploration can turn up a wealth of historic resources, including a variety of mining structures and features, a historic fort, and the famous Walker Cabin. Keysville offers commercial and noncommercial white-water rafting opportunities as well as fishing, recreational gold panning, and dispersed camping. A network of over seventy miles of trails provides for mountain biking, equestrian, and motorized recreation use.
The Kern River, previously Rio de San Felipe, later La Porciuncula, is a Wild and Scenic river in the U.S. state of California, approximately 165 miles (270 km) long. It drains an area of the southern Sierra Nevada mountains northeast of Bakersfield. Fed by snowmelt near Mount Whitney, the river passes through scenic canyons in the mountains and is a popular destination for whitewater rafting and kayaking. It is the southernmost major river system in the Sierra Nevada, and is the only major river in the Sierra that drains in a southerly direction.
The Kern River formerly emptied into the now dry Buena Vista Lake and Kern Lake via the Kern River Slough, and Kern Lake in turn emptied into Buena Vista Lake via the Connecting Slough at the southern end of the Central Valley. Buena Vista Lake, when overflowing, first backed up into Kern Lake and then upon rising higher drained into Tulare Lake via Buena Vista Slough and a changing series of sloughs of the Kern River. The lakes were part of a partially endorheic basin that sometimes overflowed into the San Joaquin River.[6] This basin also included the Kaweah and Tule Rivers, as well as southern distributaries of the Kings River that all flowed into Tulare Lake.
Since the late 19th century the Kern has been almost entirely diverted for irrigation, recharging aquifers, and the California Aqueduct, although some water empties into Lake Webb and Lake Evans, two small lakes in a portion of the former Buena Vista Lakebed. The lakes were created in 1973 for recreational use. The lakes hold 6,800 acre⋅ft (8,400 dam3) combined.[7] Crops are grown in the rest of the former lakebed. In extremely wet years the river will reach the Tulare Lake basin through a series of sloughs and flood channels.
Despite its remote source, nearly all of the river is publicly accessible. The Kern River is particularly popular for wilderness hiking and whitewater rafting. The Upper Kern River is paralleled by trails to within a half-mile of its source (which lies at 13,600 feet (4,100 m)). Even with the presence of Lake Isabella, the river is perennial down to the lower Tulare Basin. Its swift flow at low elevation makes the river below the reservoir an extremely popular location for rafting.

Do you travel by yourself? I thought I see a camera person sometimes.
Sometimes I do by myself if the person filming me Sometimes is at work 😅
Everytime I go past Freeway Rigdge gate, it's locked, but vehicles are behind the fence. I wonder who is the keyholder?? Good decision not crossing the river alone.
Wonder if it's just dummy locked. I meant to check yesterday but passed it by accident lol
@@dat1dsm it is. I checked it. It's to contain cattle
@@OldskoolArtCustoms sweet. I'll check tomorrow as Im going camping that way.
@@dat1dsm It's locked with a clip that doesn't require a key. You just need to make sure to secure it after you go through. Just did this trail this past weekend and it was a a bit scary but so much fun.
I started at mile marker R37.00 and made my way up through the gatekeeper, and turned right at the peak to take Black Gulch Road past Walker Cabin to Keysville. Awesome views but some crazy drops on one side.
Nice place 👌 next time invite me
Gate don't mean closed. Read the signs. The gate is for cows
Some Cow Shit?
