Temblor Recreation Area was newly designated in the Bakersfield RMP (December 2014) and provides opportunities for OHV riding on a network of over 200 miles of designated routes, recreational shooting, hunting, and other dispersed forms of recreation. There is limited legal access to the area. The BLM is currently working on developing legal public access and staging for the Temblors. For more information, contact the field office at 661-391-6000.
Although there are numerous informal routes into Temblor SRMA across private oil fields, legal public access to Temblor SRMA is currently limited. Negotiations to provide legal public access are in progress.
