Walker happens to be the largest of the
three towns here in the Antelope Valley, but for some reason, it's the
only one without it's own Post
Office.
Locally there are a High School, Grade School, Senior
Citizens Center, Community Center, Churches,
Fire Station with Paramedics and a small County Park.
The West Walker River is a designated Wild
and Scenic River from it's beginning in the
High Sierra,
north to
the town
of Walker. Where U. S. Highway 395 follows
the |

 |
river's
winding course it drops 1,500 feet in 14 miles of exciting roaring
boulder strewn canyon. The river changes character
at Walker, meandering through the north sloping Antelope Valley, irrigating
local ranches and feeding Topaz Lake.
With the excellent year-round weather,
Antelope Valley is home to much wildlife. From Canadian Geese,
to Bald Eagles to California's largest mule deer herd. |
