Lamont is a convenient jumping-off point for scenic outings along the Kern River and into the Sierra Nevada foothills, both offering river access, hiking and viewpoints suitable for towable rigs. A drive on State Route 99 gives straightforward, well-maintained towing conditions and easy access to trailheads and scenic overlooks where parking is often available. Lake Isabella and the Kern River Recreation Area provide riverside day-use spots and campgrounds that accommodate larger trailers for day exploration. Traveling with a fifth wheel makes it easy to return to a comfortable base after a full day outdoors.
