I backpacked in the Kennedy Meadows Area three times and did a day hike once. The area is in the Golden Trout and South Sierra Wilderness (which didn't exist at the time) and incluides some privately owned land that is used for cattle grazing. There is a 4-Wheel Drive road available to the public in this area.
My third trip was a four mile round trip day hike on April 8, 1972 by myself up the South Fork Kern River from Kennedy Meadow campground - nice trail and scenery.
