Rio Hondo bicycle path
Encyclopedia
The Rio Hondo bicycle path is a Class 1 bicycle path
that parallels the Rio Hondo
through Los Angeles County. The North end of the path begins at the Peck Road Water Conservation Park, about 1/2 mile South of Live Oak Avenue (which becomes Myrtle Avenue just North of Live Oak Avenue as it enters Monrovia, California
) on Peck Road, on the West side of the street. The trail is mostly level.
The path is connected through the back side of Whittier Narrows Recreation Area along a very rural stream bed, to the San Gabriel River bicycle path
. The proximity of the Rio Hondo Bike Path to the massive El Monte Bus Station makes it one of easiest ways access a variety of local bike paths without the extensive use of car drop-offs and pick-ups. It joins Los Angeles River Bike Path when Rio Hondo merges into Los Angeles River. The bike path ends at downtown Long Beach by the Pacific Ocean.
The condition and accessibility has improved due to efforts by local non-governmental organizations. Improvements include increased accessibility , construction of rest stops with water fountains and restrooms, planting and installing California native gardens and interpretive signs.
