Ernie's Walk
Trail along the Los Angeles River
About
Ernie's Walk is a 0.3-mile (0.48 km) linear trail along the north bank of the Los Angeles River in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, California. The trail runs along Valleyheart Drive between Kester Avenue and Cedros Avenue. The trail is named for Ernie La Mere, a retired Sherman Oaks resident who began planting along a degraded stretch of riverbank in 1987. Los Angeles County renovated the site in 2003, and it reopened as a county park in 2004.
