Coyote Creek Bicycle Path
The Coyote Creek bikeway is a Class 1 bike path in Los Angeles County that runs adjacent to the Coyote Creek flood control channel for approximately 9.5 miles. The bike path is controlled by Caltrans. The path begins in Santa Fe Springs on the North fork of the Coyote Creek and extends south into Long Beach where it joins the San Gabriel River bicycle path at the trail bridge just South of Willow Street/Katella Avenue. Coyote Creek separates Los Angeles County and Orange County. A curious feature of the bikeway is that many of the east–west streets that intersect the flood control channel change names as they cross over. The bikeway is generally devoid of scenery. The northern section of the bikeway passes through industrial neighborhoods consisting of warehouses and light manufacturing. The middle section, from State Route 91 to Ball Road/Wardlow, cuts through residential neighborhoods. There is convenient access to the Don Knabe Community Regional Park, just north ...

Coyote Creek During A Heavy Rain Storm
The coyote (''Canis latrans'') is a species of canine native to North America. It is smaller than its close relative, the wolf, and slightly smaller than the closely related eastern wolf and red wolf. It fills much of the same ecological niche as the golden jackal does in Eurasia. The coyote is larger and more predatory and was once referred to as the American jackal by a behavioral ecologist. Other historical names for the species include the prairie wolf and the brush wolf. The coyote is listed as least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, due to its wide distribution and abundance throughout North America. The species is versatile, able to adapt to and expand into environments modified by humans. It is enlarging its range by moving into urban areas in the eastern U.S. and Canada. The coyote was sighted in eastern Panama (across the Panama Canal from their home range) for the first time in 2013. The coyote has 19 recognized subspecies. The averag ...
