SAN GABRIEL TRAIL OVERVIEW
DIRECTIONS: This segment can be accessed by most major east-west connector streets crossing the river. Most of these access points do not include parking and only serve as pedestrian and bicycle access to the trail.
DESCRIPTION: The San Gabriel River Trail begins at the Pacific Ocean and travels north along a fairly straight path through the City of Long Beach. This entire trail segment follows a channel, but the southern part of this segment is wide with an earthen bottom and riparian vegetation. As it reaches the confluence of the San Gabriel River and Los Alamitos Creek, the trail narrows into a concrete channel before passing through the large El Dorado East Regional Park.

SAN GABRIEL RIVER TRAIL OVERVIEW
DIRECTIONS: This segment can be accessed by most major east-west connector streets crossing the river. Most of these access points do not include parking and only serve as pedestrian and bicycle access to the trail.

DIRECTIONS: From the 605, turn on to Rooks Rd. Turn right on to Pecks Rd. heading north. Stay on Pecks Rd until Durfee and turn left. Turn left into Whittier Narrows Nature Center and access the San Gabriel River Trail via WNRA Trail.
DESCRIPTION: This segment of the San Gabriel River Trail is popular amongst cycling enthusiasts due to its many trail junction points. As it progresses north, the trail moves from a flood control channel, where it is used by local residents, cyclists, and runners, into a natural trail. Natural segments of trail typically consist of equestrian trail users. The trail continues to follow the 605 freeway north away from the City of Whittier where trail users can expect to see great views of Schabarum-Skyline and native wildlife.

DIRECTIONS: There are several access points located along this segment of trail. The main access point is located just off of Ramona Blvd. There is some parking within the local neighborhoods but no parking directly adjacent to the trail.
DESCRIPTION: This portion of the San Gabriel River Trail begins in the flood control channel, but then becomes a natural trail with a sandy trail surface, popular with equestrian riders. Most of this trail is situated next to residential areas, as well as several schools to the west. Trail users should try to utilize this trail early in the morning as there are few shade elements. The width of this trail segment is relatively inconsistent after it leaves the flood control channel.

DIRECTIONS: From the 605 freeway going north, turn right onto E. Huntington Dr. Then turn left onto Encanto Pkwy. which runs parallel to the trail. Parking is available within the residential area with several access points along the road.
DESCRIPTION: This trail segment of the San Gabriel River Trail is highly natural and is surrounded by riparian vegetation and wildlife. Hikers can enjoy amazing views of the San Gabriel Mountains to the west and north. There is a residential area just north of the trail access point where most trail users can access the trail. Hiking enthusiasts will enjoy this trail segment, but the rock terrain is less than ideal for equestrian riders and cyclist. The trail goes under several major highways, such as the 605 and the 210.

QUICKGUIDE INFORMATION | Updated June 2015
SAFETY FIRST
In case of EMERGENCY dial 911.
For non-emergencies on County trails
call the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Parks Bureau Dispatch at (800) 834-
0064.
WHAT TO BRING
Water for you and your animal(s)
Trail map
High energy snacks
Waste bags for your dog
First aid kit
Extra clothing
Sunglasses/hat
Sunscreen
Insect repellent
Trekking poles (optional)
Flashlight (optional)
SHARE THE TRAIL
When trail conditions require a right of way
for safe passage, equestrian users have
the primary right of way, hikers next
and then mountain bikers. When trail
conditions allow and when there is width to
safely pass, common courtesy should prevail
for all users. Stand to one side of the trail
and allow them to pass. When in a group,
avoid blocking the trail. Mountain bikers
yield to all trail users. Anticipate other
trail users as you ride around corners.
Mountain bikers traveling downhill must yield
to all users, including other mountain bikers,
headed uphill. In general, make each pass a
safe and courteous one.
HAZARDS ON THE TRAIL
Rattlesnakes occasionally sun
themselves in the middle of the trail. If
encountered, keep your distance and
allow space for the snake to retreat.
Poison oak can be identified by groups
of 3 leaves going up the branch. It’s
best avoided by staying on the trail
and wearing long pants and long-
sleeved shirts to prevent contact with
skin.
Ticks are most often found in shaded,
grassy areas off the beaten path. Stick
to established trails and wear long
pants to avoid contact. Check for ticks
frequently, especially the scalp, waist
and other dark places where they can
hide.
