Much of Atwater Village lies in the old river flood plain. While city expansion and development had previously turned the river into something of an eyesore, more recent cleanup efforts and a movement to allow it to revert to a wilderness state, has placed a renewed focus on preserving the river’s natural beauty with its sandy bottom, shady trees, and population of wild herons. The river is now a popular spot for recreational activities like fishing, kayaking and biking.

 

Principal thoroughfares include San Fernando Road, Fletcher Drive, and Los Feliz and Glendale Boulevards. Atwater Village is noted for its proximity to the Interstate 5, SR 134 and Interstate 110 freeways. The Golden State and Glendale Freeways run along the district’s western and southeastern borders, respectively.
