Kent is an unincorporated community located in Marin County, California. Historically, the area was primarily used for agriculture and ranching. The hydrology of Kent is heavily influenced by the nearby Mount Tamalpais, which provides surface flow to several creeks and streams that run through the area. The snowpack from Mount Tamalpais also contributes to the water supply in the region. The Kent Lake Reservoir is the primary source of drinking water for Marin County. Agriculture is still a significant part of the community, with many farms and ranches producing fruits, vegetables, and livestock. The area is also popular for recreational activities, including hiking, biking, and horseback riding.
