All Oakhurst and iron bound
Along the Fresno River in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Oakhurst is a residential mountain town known for its small-town charm, rich gold-rush history, and scenic natural beauty. A short drive from Bass Lake and the Sierra National Forest, you'll find plenty of outdoor activities and waterfront recreation in the area, too. Plus, Oakhurst is at the southern end of the scenic Highway 49 – also known as the Gold Country Highway – so your Oakhurst vacation rental will give you easy access to the historic mining towns of northern California.
Great outdoors and great indoors in Oakhurst
The 1,300,000-acre Sierra National Forest is a short drive from Oakhurst, and hiking and camping are major activities in the area. Closer to town, the Fresno Flats Historical Village and Park offers a glimpse at local life during the 19th century, and the complex also holds regular events. Looking for something a little boozier? With plenty of nightlife destinations to choose from, Oakhurst has you covered – the Oakhurst Spirits distillery serves up whiskeys, brandies, and other potent potables in a rustic space with a wild-west vibe. It hosts regular live music, and you can browse local artists' work at the on-site gallery.
Say Fres-yes to Oakhurst
It might look like a little acorn, but you'll quickly discover that Oakhurst is plenty mighty. Just a few miles away, Bass Lake offers ample opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming, and sunbathing, and the Fresno River is a popular spot for rafting and kayaking, too. Winter visitors can enjoy cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, and there's lots of downhill skiing and snowboarding available in the nearby Sierra Nevadas. After a day full of outdoor exploration, you can always check out the town's museums and nightlife destinations, or take a leisurely drive along Highway 49.
Head for the (foot)hills in Oakhurst
Set a comfortable 2,274 feet above sea level, Oakhurst lies amid the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, along the plateau of the Fresno River. (Oakhurst used to be called Fresno Flats, if that gives you any idea of the area's layout.) Just a few miles from your Oakhurst vacation rental, the Sierra National Forest offers more than a million acres of pristine natural beauty. Here, you'll find everything from old growth forests to alpine meadows, and the park's wooded slopes are home to coyotes, black bears, and mule deer.
