Rio Hondo bicycle path

From Wikipedia, the free 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. Even on weekends, the path is only sparsely populated by bicyclists and pedestrians. The trail is mostly level.

One highlight of the trail is a section that parallels the runway at the El Monte Airport, where it is possible to watch planes take off and land.

The bike trail also passes by the radio controlled model airplane field at the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area, also an interesting stop for aviation buffs.

[edit] Current Condition

There is some debris on the trail around areas where path-side parks are being built. The trail is in good repair, there are some cracks that have been filled with tar are slightly raised. There are also some metal plates across the trail that can give cyclists a jolt.

[edit] Future plans

There seem to be several path side parks being built along the trail.
