This 324-acre preserve protects one of the last remaining valley oak riparian forests in the San Joaquin Valley where four creeks carrying water from the Sierra converge. It was preserved through the efforts of local citizens who realized the land’s biological and historical value. It was purchased in 1983 with help from The Nature Conservancy.
Today it is maintained by the Sequoia Riverlands Trust. Kaweah Oaks is home to more than 300 plant and animal species. Uses include research, education and public enjoyment. Amenities include parking, picnic tables, trail benches and restrooms. Please tread lightly.
To get there: Drive east on Hwy 198. Turn left on Rd 182, approx. 7 miles east of Visalia. The preserve is one-half mile north of the highway on the left.
