Browns Creek Bike Path

Browns Creek Bike Path is a Class I bike path that is “tucked away from the surrounding hustle and bustle” of the San Fernando Valley, “hugging the side” of the Browns Canyon Wash. The path begins at Lassen Street, just east of Chatsworth Metrolink Station, and ends just north of Rinaldi Street near Stoney Point Park. Browns Creek (sometimes called Brown’s Creek), a tributary of the Los Angeles River, offers “splendid views of the irregularly shaped Santa Susana mountains rising to the west.” One local writer observed, “What [the concrete-lined creek] lacks in scenery, it compensates for by providing the trail with an open, airy setting.” The route has been described as “very rustic” (for an urban bike path, of course). The wash passes through a neighborhood with equestrian zoning and “Opposite the bike route, in the west levee, a horse trail also follows the creek.” Domestic goats, roosters and ponies have also been seen along the path. At Chatsworth station, bicyclists can connect to the G Line Bikeway. The path is in close proximity to Chatsworth Park North and Chatsworth Park South (both operated by the City of Los Angeles Parks Department) and Chatsworth Nature Preserve. Both Chatsworth Parks, “excellent parks…[with] interesting hills and rock formations there, as well as pleasant shaded rest areas” are accessible from Valley Circle Road. Riders can create an approximately 6.3-mile (10.1 km) loop beginning at either end of the Browns Creek route, connecting to Valley Circle Road via either Chatsworth Street or Lassen Street.
