(Right hand side) Beautiful path to walk on, flat concrete surface. You can enjoy the nature & the sound of the water passing by. This side is safe. There’s signs of wild life but nothing crazy. I only saw birds, squirrels and lots of butterflies. If you go towards the left hand side you feel sketch vibes going under the bridge, towards the end of the path there are very tall green plants and the path gets more narrow, then you can “through the creek” Nope! All the sketch vibes, it felt like a scary movie scene. Not for me probably horse back riding there or with a group of ppl but not alone. No thanks. I had an overall good experience though. Enjoy!

This little hidden gem in LA County is a must see. bring the family and bring the bicycles or just go for a walk. its near legg lake, and part of the whittier narrows natural wildlife preserve area. you forget youre middle of the city. I love this place and visit it as much as I can!!

This trail offers free parking, restrooms are nearby. There are benches around to sit and relax. You can hear the birds and I also saw a wild rabbit. There is a section where you can bike ride along the river. Very enjoyable.

It’s a very quiet area to walk and relax, close to the urban area. And secluded from the noise of the City.

I usually just park here for the bike trail. Its pretty and looks safe but Ive only been during the day. On the bike trail there are many homeless but Ive noticed that on many bike trails in Los Angeles.

It would give this place more stars if it didnt have so many homeless drug addicts living in the bushes.

Its a good place to get the exercise your doctor recommends. I began coming here because I wanted to ride my bike without the fear of being hit by a car. You do encounter other people walking, jogging, or cycling, which helps create a sense of safety. This is important because although it seems like a simple place to burn some calories, theres quite a handful of homeless residents along the correlating bike path and river. A live and let live mentality will help you care less about the unknown people residing here, but it can be difficult when there are piles of garbage and people getting under the influence in plain sight. Besides that, the view is a pleasurable one. With an abundance of different flora, youll want to stop by and admire through your own eyes or photography. Be wary of the fauna, as sometimes an occasional coyote with be within view.

Great place to come for a walk or bike ride. Its usually pretty quiet here. Downside is, there are a lot of homeless people who frequently shower in the restrooms in the parking area and some of them are weirdos who creep around in the bushes off the trail. I probably wouldnt recommend for a female to walk the trail alone here.

The precious reviewers must be joking, right? There is nothing here! It is a nice open space, and there are signs indicating the San Gabriel Mission was originally built right around here. But a flood in 1774 (!) destroyed the church and washed away any evidence it had ever been there.
