Two L.A. River Paddle Programs Open Sign Ups

Overwhelming demand for tickets caused server problems for one group Monday night. A second operator opens registration at 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Two groups will offer tours down a stretch of the Los Angeles River this summer.

That means trips will be offered seven days a week starting July 21 through at least mid-September.

L.A. River Expeditions, , got notice from the Army Corps of Engineers late last week that it could run trips on Sundays and Mondays.

Overwhelming demand for those trips created computer issues almost immediately Monday night when registration opened.

Registration for those opens at 7 a.m. on Tuesday.

The combined efforts will allow for more than 2,000 individual trips for participants compared to 260 last year.

The two-mile route runs through the San Fernando Valley southeast from Balboa Boulevard in Encino through the Sepulveda Dam area.

Both tour groups involve players from the

The LA Conservation Corps is working with the Mountains Recreation & Conservation Authority, Friends of the Los Angeles River, Urban Semillas, and The River Project.

Meantime, L.A. River Expeditions has partnered with the Fresno-based San Joaquin River Stewardship Program.

Wolfe says this will allow for a more state-wide approach to telling the river's story.

“Paddling programs are a great way to connect citizens with their local river, create stewardship, and teach the importance of water resources for California's future," stated Steve Starcher, Director of the San Joaquin River Stewardship Program in a release.

Paddlers and environmentalists in Los Angeles hope so, with

Los Feliz to Echo Park?
Unless you can show me on a map where the LA River flows directly through the Los Feliz and Echo Park neighborhoods, here's hoping the Atwater Village and Elysian Valley residents don't read how you've misidentified their communities.

@Gumball Saint--You are right about the Elysian Valley and Frogtown, which in my mind--perhaps incorrectly--I see as extensions of Silver Lake and Echo Park. River does run through Los Feliz on the west with Atwater on the east I believe. I walk that entire stretch with my dog often, so apologies for any confusion.

Not "more than 2,000 trips." Rather, between the two groups we expect to serve more than 2,000 participants -- still, that's a lot of trips!
Anthea Raymond (Editor) July 17, 2012 at 08:03 pm
@RIP -- Thanks for the clarification: that is a lot of trips, 36 alone by L.A. River Expeditions and I'll bet at least two and a half times that by Paddle the LA River.

The fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that: the right of the people to beRead More secure in their persons,houses,papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized "this fundamental right has a tense relationship with sobriety checkpoints, at a sobriety checkpoint, drivers are necessary stopped with out reasonable suspicion, and may be tested summarily and with out probable cause, Thus the constitution would prohibit people from being stopped without a search Warrant or at least without probable cause that they have committed a crime; however, the Warrant requirement only attaches should the search be unreasonable and the Supreme Court, as shown below, decided that such stops are not unreasonable under certain circumstances, The United States Supreme Court found properly conducted sobriety checkpoints to be Constitutional, While acknowledging that such checkpoints infringed on a Constitutional Right. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has found sobriety checkpoints to be constitutionally permissible, ten states (Idaho,Iowa,Michigan,Minnesota,Oregon,Rhode Island, Texas,Washington,Wisconsin, and Wyoming) have found that sobriety roadblocks violate their own State Constitutions or have outlawed tHEM.

Again, if you see a checkpoint you can still legally turn around or change directions to avoid it asRead More long as you are not already in it. Learn your rights. But don't drink and drive. Call Northeast LAPD to go to take the LAPD Community Based Police Academy course. It's free. Of course, Northeast doesn't let others know about it. You learn your rights a lot of other information they would rather not have you know. Call them and ask how to attend.

The fact that they are outlawed in some states AND what the constitution says , they areRead More UN-constitutional whether you can avoid them or not, same as checking your citizenship up to 100 miles north of Mexican border (as you simply drive down the road), no probable cause etc.

The 125th at Logan was great. Parents, students, former teachers, some alumni from the 1940's. ButRead More what is most essential to keep in mind is that Logan, a public school, has educated generations of Echo Park children, natives and immigrants, English-speaking and those learning English, respecting the diverse cultures of families that have made their homes in our community. It's a public school that serves all children, those with children with disabilities, those who have behavior issues, all children. It turns away no one. It does what public schools are supposed to do; it educates the public. And it welcomes parents to participate in decision-making bodies that can influence their child's education.
