Yet the San
Diego River, and other rivers and creeks in the county like the San Dieguito, San Mateo, and
Santa Margarita, on some occasions flow with as great a speed and
volume as some of the biggest rivers in North America, with
surprises all along their length.
The
San Diego River Park Foundation is a
community-based, grassroots, non-profit organization seeking to tie the
San Diego River together as a greenbelt from the river's headwaters in
the Cuyamaca Mountains to the sea at Ocean Beach, along the river's
52-mile course. This greenbelt will double as a trail system,
connecting a variety of parks and open spaces spread out along the
length of the river.
The San Diego
River Park Foundation's annual
River Days
festival happens this year
May 8th through
May 16th, and the first annual Riverfest,
as part of San Diego River Days, will held at the
Qualcomm Stadium practice field Sunday,
May 16th featuring a roster of area bands
and musicians, including San Diego mainstay
Gregory
Page.
