Los Alamitos Channel

Highlight • River

As you make your way along the San Gabriel River Trail, you will enjoy great views of the Los Alamitos Channel. It's a nice spot to ride along and a welcome break from the loud LA traffic.

Tip by

9.35 km

The San Gabriel River is one of the best routes in the entire valley to bike safely without traffic on a dedicated trail from the hills through the sprawling downtown areas to the ocean. The trail runs on the river levee, mostly on the east bank. While the river is mostly a concrete canal, there are a few sections where it passes by parks like here the El Dorado, or private gardens and plant nurseries, adding a few touches of green in this huge metropolitan area that otherwise has few long, dedicated bike routes.

San Gabriel River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This great multi-use trail runs north-south, stretching from Azusa to Seal Beach. Though the trail goes through the city there are a variety of parks on the way. The distant San Gabriel Mountains provides a scenic backdrop in the north and the ocean in the south. The trail is a popular bicycle route.
