Please Recreate Safely in our Big Backyard

We recommend enjoying calmer waterways this summer and fall. Please be careful. #LoveBishop

Safety tips for you and your family:

  • Read and follow warning signs – these signs are there for your safety!
  • Keep a safe distance from rivers and stream banks – extreme erosion can compromise rivers and stream banks.
  • Stay on established trails or developed areas.
  • Please keep children close and dogs leashed while near moving water.
  • Avoid slippery rocks and logs.
  • Never enter waterways that are upstream from a waterfall.
  • Stay up to date on local conditions by visiting the LADWP website.
