A kayak tour is led by LA River Expeditions in one of the portions of the Los Angeles River opened as a Recreational Zone during the Summer months. Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area, Los Angeles, California, USA
The study area is located Entirely within the City of Phoenix, along 8 miles of the Salt River, from 19th Avenue to 83rd Avenue, downstream (West or Oeste) of the ongoing Rio Salado project and upstream of the Tres Rios Project. The recommended plan includes restoration of nearly 1,500 acres of riparian and flood plain habitat with recreation and incidental flood damage reduction.
The river is constantly turning and bending and you never know where it's going to go and where you'll wind up. Following the bend in the river and staying on your own path means that you are on the right track. Don't let anyone deter you from that.
