Sepulveda Basin
Near Van Nuys, in San Fernando Valley


Top rated by 100+ clients
★★★★★
Peaceful, the best nature on the river, low-no concrete, large trees, looks like a real river. Best for beginning kayakers and eager environmentalists.
"This experience is incredible [...] Amazing to see all the wildlife and plants thriving here. The Sepulveda Basin section is a really easy kayak. The guide was fun and full of information."

Elysian Valley
Near Frogtown & Glendale, Downtown


Sporty, some light rapids, cuts right through a vibrant section as the river approaches Dodger Stadium. Basic kayaking skills recommended. Sometimes also known as the Glendale Narrows.
"My husband, our son and I kayaked the Glendale Narrows in June and wow it was so much fun...also an eye opener!"
