Down by the Los Angeles River
Friends of the Los Angeles River's official guide
JOE LINTON

In the last decade millions of dollars have been spent on restoring and revitalizing the Los Angeles River and its surroundings. Dozens of parks, miles of bike trails, public art installations and hundreds of trees and plants follow the river as it winds 51 miles through more than 100 communities. Until now no guidebook offered information on the resources along the river. Down by the Los Angeles River is the first on-the-ground guide to checking out sites new and old, and getting to know the historic river that runs through greater L.A. The book includes striking original illustrations as well as maps.

• Twenty-seven walks and twelve bike rides along the Los Angeles and its tributaries, each with directions to the starting point and descriptions of natural, historic, and artistic features along the way
  
• The river paths are already popular for walkers and joggers, bicyclists, dog-walkers, historians and bird-watchers—a readymade audience for this one-of-a-kind book
  
• Published in conjunction with the Friends of the LA River (FoLAR); part of the proceeds from this book will go to FoLAR’s well-publicized and supported efforts to revitalize the L.A. River
  
• Includes a foreword by Patt Morrison, author of Rio L.A.: Tales from the Los Angeles River, and columnist at the Los Angeles Times
