How does it work?
First: Book a time you want to kayak
Second: Show up at your designated time slot fill out some waivers, grab a helmet, vest and paddle to your liking.
Third: Once you have all your equipment we will walk you down near the entrance point at 2900 Clearwater Street to which you will be greeted by a staff member at Los Angeles River Kayaks. From there you will be given a brief demonstration on how to paddle, some history of the river, and then some assistance with helping you into your kayak.
* Note a staff member will always be there throughout your journey to ensure safety and maximum fun
Fourth: After you go through some small but challenging rapids you will enter what we call a “chill point”. To which you are free to paddle around and soak in the sounds of birds chirping and water flowing.
Fifth: You will then go through another set of rapids which are a little more challenging than the last.
Finally: Towards the end of your trip which at that point will be a little over a mile downstream we will wave you down pick up your kayaks, vests, and helmets.
