Walking Tour of Echo Park, Los Angeles

Echo Park is flanked by Elysian Valley to the north and northeast, Elysian Park to the east, Chinatown and Downtown to the southeast, Westlake to the southwest and west, and Silver Lake to the northwest.

The Eastside’s historic Echo Park Lake has finally become a family-friendly destination worthy of its bold backdrop: the Downtown skyline amid the lotus flower blooms and fountains. The lake has been around since 1860—it was once used as a drinking water reservoir, and later as a recreational park with canoes and fishing. Today, you can push your way through the lake in a pedal boat (including a swan boat) or stroll around the path that hugs its borders. The new Swan Boats at Echo Park Lake are one of Los Angeles’ hidden gems. Rated one of the best LA activities, Echo Park pedal boats are a great way to enjoy the outdoors.
