Expeditions

We are partnered with a coalition of dynamic organizations that have tested the feasibility of guided, permitted, non-motorized boating excursions on the Los Angeles River. The program ran Aug. 13 - Sep 25, 2011. Due to the nature of pilot programs, it was limited in the number of people it could accommodate. We regret not being able to serve all who were interested, but L.A. River Expeditions is hopeful that the program will be able to expand in 2012 to support all interested people.

L.A. River Expeditions has been providing Trip Leaders on the Paddle the L.A. River boating excursions, led by our experienced canoe and kayak staff. On some trips, there is the added perk of being joined by river experts from various disciplines (landscape architects, biologists, ornithologists, ichthyologists, civil engineers, etc.). Through your urban adventure, you will learn about: the local wildlife, the watershed, the history of the river, and boating and river safety skills.

This is truly a historic new opportunity for the Los Angeles community, and it's an honor to be involved in this venture along with our partners.

Traveling the river by canoe or kayak will provide you with a fresh understanding of the river that is distinct from walking or biking along its banks. This experience will fundamentally reconnect you to the river, and will inspire and empower you to be river stewards. As you have fun while gathering truly unforgettable memories, you will play a key role in creating a clean, healthy, safe and sustainable river for current and future generations of Angelenos.

If you have a specific comment, we'd love to hear what's on your mind. Use our Contact form below. We'd also be happy to keep you on record as being interested in a future Los Angeles River expedition, and we'll send you out a notice about that as soon as it's possible to get people back out there on the river.

Be one of the first person in your neighborhood, office or family — or, for our international guests, the first from your entire country — to have boated the fabled Los Angeles River!

YES! Sign me up on a waitlist for sure. Once you know specific dates, I’m there!
YES (Sort of). I’m intrigued. Pencil me in and keep me up-to-date with periodic news.
MAYBE... possibly... some day — but you’ve got a lot of convincing to do before I set foot in the Los Angeles River! Go ahead and send me an email, once in a blue moon.
