context_page_description: The Rio Hondo is a tributary of the Los Angeles River in Los Angeles County, California, approximately 16.4 miles long. As a named river, it begins in Irwindale and flows southwest to its confluence in South Gate, passing through several cities. Above Irwindale its main stem is known as Santa Anita Creek, which extends another 10 miles northwards into the San Gabriel Mountains where the source, or headwaters, of the river are found.
