Bakersfield Question

Guys, Is there a lake close to Bakersfield that I can test drive a boat I'm looking at? I'm meeting the seller from L.A. in Bakersfield next Saturday, unless I find one before then, need help guys. Also where is the DMV office located and is it open on Saturday? Thanks Bruce

Isabella is probably closest

If you are just test driving then buena vista lake is the closest. It's really small but it would probably do the trick. However, I believe that there is a lake fee

yeah BV would be the best bet.the first lake of the two is the ski lake.its plenty big enough for what ever you are going to test drive.10$ to get in I believe.big bass in there too.

Yeah, your best best is Buena Vista lakes recreation area. If the boat has a Kern County sticker, it should only cost $6 to get in. I think it's $13 otherwise. If the seller has AAA, you might be able to do the title transfer that way.

The DMV offices in this area are no longer open on Saturday.
