You’ve probably heard of the LA River Walk, a revitalization of the Los Angeles River, that begins in Canoga Park, goes through the San Fernando Valley, Griffith Park and Elysian Valley, and down as far as Downtown LA and Long Beach. The long-term goal for the Los Angeles River is to offer 102 miles of connectivity on both sides of the river for people to enjoy walking, biking, fishing and other fun activities. The Los Angeles River Center is a few blocks from the I-5/State 110 interchange. If you prefer public transportation you can hop on the Metro Gold Line to the Lincoln Heights/Cypress Park station. Frogtown has a walking and biking path along the river for people to enjoy with sections for recreational use.
The area is underway with a larger-scale revitalization of the river. The final stages will allow for trail riding, kayaking, biking, fishing and picnics. If you are new to the LA River a great way to learn about the community is to stop by The Frog Spot. The Frog Spot is a community space for relaxing, enjoying a cup of coffee, and live music and poetry. Visitors can learn more about the river passing through Frogtown and use The Frog Spot as a launching point for kayaking, biking and more. Some other fun ways to view the river is through Friends of the Los Angeles River’s monthly walks (third Sunday of the month), regular car and bus tours, and occasional bike rides and through annual blowout cleanup, where you can enjoy a great view of the river and listen to live music while you help clean up along the river for visitors to enjoy. The LA River is becoming a great place for families to enjoy free time with one another. Once finished it will offer an abundance of outdoor activities for visitors to appreciate.
