Frogtown Trail — Attraction in Los Angeles

I have been enjoying the Frog Town Trail for about 5 years. Frog Town is that area that follows the LA River just north of the bank. Once upon a time commercial real estate was a real bargain in this bohemian paradise. There are several local Breweries in Frog Town. Not too long ago, most of the vacant commercial spaces around the LA River were abandoned, and boarded up. But now what you see are creative artsy business, like art galleries and Cafe"s. There's even a state of the art, world class gymnastics training facility. It"s worth a look see just to see this impressive gymnasium. It gives me great pleasure to see local Angelinos reaping the benefits of taking the risk to open a new business in an area that was once considered undesirable and are now enjoying the renascence they created.

One of the activities that I enjoy the most is to take my bike down to the LA River and ride through Frog Town. There's many great Cafe's. Check out the Bike shop on Riverside Dr. One of my favorite bike shops in LA. Don't forget to wear plenty of the...

The part of the trail next to the I-5 is only for the very adventurous. Quite a bit of this trail are very, very narrow and you’d must be EXTREMELY careful to traverse.

I, for one, have not walked the other half of the trail, as I have only went on the trail to find the Secret Swing at Angels Point.

If you want a trail that has a view of the I-5 but is less dangerous, walk the Elysian Park West Trailhead. If you with to see the Secret Swing Angels Point, walk the Angels Point Road instead and then climb the hill’s trails...

Great trail running area in the middle of downtown Los Angeles. Very pleased to have found this area while on vacation and staying in the bustling city. This park gets up a bit higher than the surrounding area so the provided views are great. The trail is semi flat as it winds around the various hills. I wouldn't say any of it is really difficult but some parts wind you around away from an easy exit. You just have to be aware of the loop or path you are about to traverse onto.

I did love the graffiti on the rocks. It added a nice LA flare to the trail.

Lots of little parks in the surrounding...
