I grew up 2 blocks from Chandler Blvd. There is a wash / water-runoff canal that runs under a bridge nearby. Not sure if that’s the “LA River” or if it just feeds into it.

LA riverbed, home of giant ants.

I remember when it had water in it...

I grew up 2 blocks from Chandler Blvd. There is a wash / water-runoff canal that runs under a bridge nearby.

There are several canals running under Chandler Blvd. Their source is the Granite Reef dam, so the water flowing through them is from the Salt River, the Verde River, and the Colorado River.

We fish the Consolidated Canal, the main source of drinking water for the City of Chandler, and NOTHING like the L.A. River. I can cast out, and within ten minutes hook into a huge carp, catfish, or even a yellow bass.

Although the water is clean and the fish are fine to eat, we catch and release.
