Once home to steelhead and grizzlies, the Los Angeles River meandered through wetlands, marshes, willow, alder, and sycamore. When the Army Corps of Engineers initiated a flood control project in the late 1930s, they began the process of paving 80% of the Los Angeles River, creating the world’s largest storm drain. Freshwater springs bubble up throughout this seven-mile stretch, making it impossible for the concrete along the riverbed to harden. The result is a scenic, natural-bottom River. Visit any location throughout this stretch to see plenty of vegetation, abundant birdlife, and even jumping fish. Here are a few starting points for your River adventures:

Elysian ValleyBicycle & Pedestrian Path:There are numerous entry points to this 7.4 mile path that starts at the Riverside-Victory Bridge and ends at Egret Park.

Glendale NarrowsRiver Walk:1300 Garden Street in Glendale. This linear park, next to the Bette Davis Picnic Area, features interpre-tive signage, natural vegetation, equestrian activities, and a bike path.

ARBOR is an 11-mile restoration project that envisions 719 acres of restored riparian habitat in the heart of urban Los Angeles. The City, the Army Corps, and FoLAR agree that this strech of the River is our primary opportunity to reconnect the people to nature, and deliver a new legacy to the future. Participate in FoLAR's CRACK THE CONCRETE campaign to ensure ARBOR is implemented to maximize the benefits of public access and ecological restoration. Learn more at folar.org/advocacy-now
