Golden Trout Creek

Golden Trout Creek is an approximately 9-mile (14 km) long tributary of the Kern River, flowing in northeastern Tulare County, California.

The creek drains an area of the High

Sierra Nevada in the Inyo National Forest

. Volcano Creek is a tributary of it.

Course

It starts near 12,900-foot (3,900 m)

Kern Canyon, about 40 mi (64 km) north of Lake Isabella

.

California's state fish, the Golden trout, are native to Golden Trout Creek. The high Volcano Falls located near the mouth of the creek prevents other trout species from the main Kern River from mixing with those in this creek.
