In 1994, I discovered you can ride your bike south from the 210 freeway in Azusa all the way down to Seal Beach via a bike path that is part of the Los Angeles River (and its tributaries) reclamation project. It is a super cool bike ride and easier than you’d anticipate. Some of it is still just concrete, but other sections are really quite pretty.

I grew up around the L.A. area and when we’d drive the freeways I thought the L.A. River was actually just another water drainage area. I hope it can be turned back into a real river sometime in the future. Thanks for the great article.

I like your concern for the river.But there’s hope.In my travels I see a lot of environmental destruction of past decades being remedied today because of growing awareness about what we’ve done.I just revisited UK’s once industrial Midlands,deep coal, steel and other industry grime country up until the 90’s.But today green, colourful, and beautiful.

Thanks for the shots/view.

I think if Los Angeles can develop a successful rehabilitation plan and implement it, especially in one of the worst areas south east of downtown, that will be a model for other urban areas. Sorry to hear about the problems with rivers in Australia – you certainly don’t have the population we do do – I guess most of the problems are located close to the urban areas – coastal areas in Australia?

Visibly up close the water is certainly not as clean as a mountain stream, but organizations are definetely working to improve the overall quality of the LA River Channel.

Les photos sont pas mal et complètent bien le tableau.
J’imagine qu’une telle rivière n’échappe pas à la pollution urbaine de Los Angeles même si elle n’est pas réellement visible.

I never would have imagined it like you samples in your pictures. This river is strangely beautiful.
Thank you

I’m honored.We are having trouble in Australia in rivers being degraded and the powers to be allow it to continue at an alarming rate. It is happening all over in this country and it is sad to see.Plants and animals dying because of the greed of some. Our grand children will suffer as a result of our actions.On a positive side the boat is coming on and will be used to travel the rivers here and I will do more filming of the destruction.Places that are not effected will be photographed and kept for comparison at a later date Cheers Stewart
