It is part of the San Diego River Park network of paths found along the San Diego River channel that extends from Volcan Mountain until the river flows into the ocean at Mission Bay for a distance of 52 miles. This river was used by the Kumeyaay, then later as a water source for Mission San Diego de Alcalá, 19th-century European settlers, and currently serves the City of San Diego through San Vicente and El Capitan reservoirs. The river in this area shows a history of flooding since record-keeping began in 1914. The biggest recorded flood occurred in January of 1916, when the river grew to be a mile wide with a flow rate of 70,200 cubic feet of water per second, damaging roads, tracks, and telephone/telegraph lines that took over a month to repair.
