Kaweah Oaks Preserve is located in Tulare County, California east of the city of Visalia not far from the mouth of the Kaweah River near the Venice Hills. The preserve spans 344 acres (139 ha) and is one of the last remaining valley oak riparian forests in the San Joaquin Valley.

Kaweah Oaks Preserve consists of several creeks and ditches: Crocker Cut, Deep Creek, Johnson Slough, Consolidated Peoples Ditch, Outside Creek, and Pennebaker Ditch. The preserve is home to an abundance of wildlife including the gray fox, great horned owl, Nuttall's woodpecker, wild grapevines, willow thickets, and valley oak.[1]
