Central California is a great place to explore by bicycle, and fall is the perfect time for a bike ride. It's one of the things our agents love the most about life in the Bakersfield area.

We're just minutes from the Kern River, Sequoia National Forest, and the Sierra Nevada. If you're looking for an opportunity to enjoy some fantastic scenery and get a good workout this fall, you have a lot of great pathways to choose from. 

• Hart Memorial Park - Alfred Harrell Hwy, Bakersfield, CA 93308
  One of Kern County's oldest parks, Hart Memorial Park was founded in 1929 and spans more than 1,000 acres, including shady picnic areas, a fishing lake, playgrounds, and several miles of multi-use trails. It's all just minutes from these Bakersfield homes for sale. Mountain bikers have many possible routes to choose from, but a perennial favorite is a 6-mile singletrack trail known simply as the "Long Loop," which encircles the park. It can be a hot, dry adventure even in fall, so be sure to bring plenty of water.
