Upcoming River Walk at the September 20 Frogtown Artwalk
September 11, 2008 § 6 Comments
This creek freak be leading a guided river walk in Elysian Valley (or Frogtown) - one of the nicest parts of the Los Angeles River. It’s part of the 2008 Frogtown Artwalk, so you can do the walk, then check out local studios and galleries.

The walk takes place at 4:30pm on Saturday September 20th, departing from AGPS Architecture at 2413 Ripple Street (at Clearwater Street – one block downstream from Fletcher Drive), Los Angeles 90039.
It’s free. No rsvp required – just show up. The walk is along one of the nicest soft-bottom sections of the river, with willows, sycamores, ducks, turtles, fish, egrets, herons, and cormorants. There’s also the wonderful 1927 Fletcher Drive Bridge, two pocket parks – Rattlesnake Park and Marsh Park, and beautiful artistic gates by Brett Goldstone. I’ll be giving a brief talk, then we’ll do a non-strenous walk for about 90 minutes. See you down by the river.
Hope to see you there All the best Madeline
Are dogs allowed on the trail?
Yes – dogs allowed there, though I recommend that they are on-leash as there are lots of birds that dogs would sometimes go after. The only area on the LA River that dogs really aren’t allowed is the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve.
Joe,
I was part of the tour and really enjoyed it. Can you remind me who made that fabulous gate we entered through (The Tsunami)?
Thanks again!
Linda – His name is in the post above! The name of the artist is Brett Goldstone, the gate is called “Water with Rocks” I recently saw some cool new gates he did at Rio Vista Park http://lacreekfreak.wordpress.com/2008/09/23/places-to-visit-rio-vista-park-in-el-monte/
Thanks! I thought Brett had only done the Herrons gate.
