The South Fork Kern River flows through both the South Sierra and Domeland wilderness areas on the Sequoia National Forest. The headwaters to the South Fork Kern River are in the Golden Trout Wilderness on the Inyo National Forest. The northern part of the South Fork Kern River in the South Sierra Wilderness flows through fairly open areas dominated by conifer trees, sage flats, and wet meadows. Downstream of this part of the river, the South Fork Kern River flows through a deep river gorge through most of this wilderness.
