About this website
The Los Angeles River Revitalization Corporation[[sitetree_link id=39]] has created this website with two goals in mind. The first is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date repository for information about the Los Angeles River, its history, recreational opportunities, parks, access points, maps, news and events. We are proud to join existing organizations, like FoLAR[http://folar.org/] and KCET’s Departures[http://www.kcet.org/socal/departures/lariver/], in providing information and inspiration to everyone interested in the Los Angeles River.* * Read more about "About this website"... -
Boating
“The Los Angeles River is a flood control channel, 52 miles long, encased in cement. It is not navigable.” - Colonel Thomas Magness, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Read more about "Boating"... -
access & cautions
Like our beaches and mountains, the Los Angeles River can be a safe and wonderful place to enjoy a variety of recreational opportunities. It's 52 miles long, at times unpatrolled and, despite its concrete coating, always wild. It's an unpredictable place where Mother Nature and urban crime can sometimes conspire to cause accidents and scares. So when you visit the River, be smart and be cautious.

Sepulveda Basin - Wildlife Reserve
The Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve is one of the few areas on the Los Angeles River specifically set aside for wildlife. In order to protect the wildlife, dogs are not allowed. The Wildlife Reserve is a 225-acre site within the larger approximately 2000-acre park complex of the Sepulveda Basin. It is a joint project of the US Army Corps of Engineers and LA’s Department of Recreation and Parks, partnering with community groups. The reserve features a lake with a bird refuge island, and extensive native plant re-vegetation. This 2.6 mile walk features some of the best and most accessible bird watching in the LA basin, informative interpretational signage, and a quiet green refuge from the bustle of its urban surroundings. Binoculars recommended. Read more about "Sepulveda Basin - Wildlife Reserve "... -
Ernie's Walk - Sherman Oaks
Ernie’s Walk is the earliest community effort to revitalize the Los Angeles River. Begun by retired local resident Ernie La Mere in 1987, the formerly very folksy garden site was refurbished by the County of Los Angeles in 2003. This walk traverses the popular 0.3-mile linear park, which features river rock seating walls, and native and non-native plantings along the concrete river channel.

Sherman Oaks Village Gardens
The Village Gardens, located in Sherman Oaks, is a short stretch of the LA River where one bank has been reclaimed by the neighbors and where the state has created a mini-park on the other bank, complete with an outdoor classroom. Despite the concrete channel, this is an enjoyable green and flowering stretch. A neighborhood group, the Village Gardeners of the Los Angeles River, led the grassroots effort to reclaim a stretch of river, picking up trash and planting “whatever would grow” according to co-founder Annette Fuller. The site has a great feel; it’s not the institutional uniformity found in many municipal projects. Read more about "Sherman Oaks Village Gardens "... -
Studio City
Studio City has two new, small, linear parks, each showcasing a slightly different approach to the revitalization of the LA River. Though the river channel is concrete, it’s a great place to walk and check out the parks with their native plants, public art, and river rock walls, ramps, and benches. This 1.9 mile stretch of the river is very popular with pedestrians, joggers, and folks walking dogs. Read more about "Studio City"... -
Bette Davis Picnic Area, Griffith Park
This park is named after the film star who reportedly lived in one of the large houses along Rancho Ave., across from the park. This 2.1 mile walk is in the upstream end of the Glendale Narrows, a favorite stretch of the L.A. River because it retains a soft, earthen bottom. It is home to birds, trees, turtles, lizards, a great historic bridge, a stretch of the Glendale Narrows section of the LA River Bike Path, and a pleasant picnic area with tall sycamores and oaks.
