The Rio Hondo San Gabriel River Trail connector is a 1.46 mile long trail that connects the Rio Hondo River Trail to the San Gabriel River Trail. This trail travels through low lying areas adjacent to the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area and provides views of the San Gabriel Mountains to the north. 

Exit the 605 at Rose Hills Road and head towards Beverly Boulevard. Continue onto San Gabriel River parkway. Turn right onto Woodford Street which becomes Cate Road/Greenglade Avenue. Turn right onto Durfee Avenue and continue into the parking area for Streamland Park. Use the access path from this park to reach the trail.

Alternatively, to access the northern trailhead in El Monte, follow Peck Road to the intersection with Rio Hondo Parkway. Peck Road Water Conservation Park is located on the east side of Peck Road. The trail starts just south of the main parking lot for the park.

How you access this trail from the Rio Hondo Bike trail?

Response

Thank you for contacting us. 

There are two connectors from the Rio Hondo Bikeway. You can access the multi-use trail from the Rio Hondo Trail that will connect to the Rio Hondo San Gabriel River Trail Connector near San Gabriel Boulevard just north west of the Bosque del Rio Hondo or from the east, from Siphon Road, where it bends near the river.
