Boaters Plan Descent of "Non-Navigable" River in Los Angeles River Expedition 2008 (July 25-27)
An eclectic group of Los Angeles residents is scheduled to kayak and canoe the full 52-mile length of the Los Angeles River on July 25-27, in an effort to raise consciousness about the river and several master plans devoted to cleaning, reviving and greenscaping the much-maligned river. The expedition has garnered attention recently due to legal battles over what constitutes a "traditional navigable water" -- with the ability to float a boat being one of the criteria.
