Los Angeles River Center and Gardens
The Los Angeles River Center and Gardens is the headquarters for many governmental agencies and non-profits, including FoLAR and the LA River Revitalization Corp. The River Center, which features lush landscaping, fountains, and a mini-park, is open every day from 7am to 9pm. The visitor center has a small river museum featuring dioramas of river flora and fauna and interpretive panels about river history, flooding and wildlife is open weekdays from 9am to 5pm and is closed on state holidays. The 1.3 mile walk is largely on city streets from the River Center to two river access points, showcasing two very different faces of the river: the all-concrete access ramp at the historic confluence of the LA River and the Arroyo Seco, and the southern tip of the scenic soft-bottom Glendale Narrows.

Bosque Del Rio Hondo
This 1.4 mile walk takes you into the Bosque Del Rio Hondo Park (Spanish for "forest of the deep river"), a 5-acre park within the 277-acre Whittier Narrows Recreation Area, a lush and wild natural area with excellent bird-watching in the riparian wetlands. The original San Gabriel Mission was established here in 1771; in 1775, after a flood and fire, the mission was relocated to its present location, above the floodplain, in today's city of San Gabriel. In recent years, the area has been known as Marrano Beach, an unofficial local hangout. Read more about "Bosque Del Rio Hondo"... -
