Los Angeles River
The
Los Angeles River
(also known as the
L.A. River
) starts in the
Simi Hills
and
Santa Susana Mountains
and flows through
Los Angeles County, California
, from
Canoga Park
in the western end of the
San Fernando Valley
, nearly southeast to its mouth in
Long Beach
. Several
tributaries
join the once free-flowing and frequently flooding
river
, forming
alluvial
flood plains
along its banks. It now flows through a concrete channel on a fixed course, which was built after a series of devastating floods in the early 20th century.
