by Laurie Schwaller
Tulare County’s eighty-six acre Kings River Park is our only park that borders the Kings River and that allows hunting (for doves only, Parks tickets required). It also has a challenging 18-hole disc golf course, an arbor, a restroom, and grass-mowing cattle, but no maintained trails. River access is difficult, but there’s fishing (license required). The County’s 1971 proposed Master Plan for this park included a campground; children’s play areas; picnic tables; arbors; fire, horseshoe, and BBQ pits; a boat ramp; and a caretaker’s residence. Meanwhile, the park’s gate is locked. Contact County Parks for passes, hunting tickets, and fees.

From Visalia, take Hwy 99 north toward Kingsburg.
Exit right onto Ave. 384 (signed for Rest Area) and go right (south) at the T intersection.
Go past the gas station and motel and as the road turns left, take the first left you come to, onto Road 28.
Follow Road 28 north until it dead ends at the gate to Kings River Park.
