Has anyone actually ever seen the LA river? I’m from the San Fernando valley and what is classified as the LA river is nominally dry as a bone. Fishing/Kayaking - really?

Does that mean they are going to allow it during the height of winter when there IS water in it an it’s moving at 20 miles an hour?

Idiots.

Haven’t you heard, kayaking is the future of America. That’s why we have to remove all the dams and destroy the value of all the lake front homes.

We are currently getting light rain up here in Northern California. My concrete driveway looks just like the portions of the Los Angeles River I have seen. Maybe a little more water trickling down my driveway . . .

Screw government. People have been kayaking a stretch of it near us for years.

The only time it becomes an issue is during heavy rain when some idiot has to take his kid(s) down to see the running water.

I used to play in the gutter when I was a kid, but I grew up.

Like Mark Twain said: Cross a Southern California River and you have to get up and dust yourself off.

I can’t wait to see Selma Kayak swimming in the L.A. River.
She’s a hottie.
