Sweetwater River

Highlight • River

The Sweetwater River starts high in the Cuyamaca Mountains. The name "Sweetwater" originates from the olden days when people would generally refer to a fresh water river as a sweet water river due to the taste of the water.

Along side the river is the Sweetwater Bikeway which is a shared bike path. It can get fairly busy at times, especially on the weekends, so be mindful of other path users.

More than 30 feet tall and built with colorful mosaic tiles, the sculpture shows two faces from the South, but can look like an elephant outline from the North, or whatever your imagination wants it to be. It is standing at a prominent corner park on the southeast side of the South Embarcadero and Convention Center area.

Sweetwater Bikeway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Here you can cycle alongside the river. The Sweetwater River runs from the Cuyamaca Mountains into San Diego Bay.

This multi-use path is part of the Sweetwater Bikeway, which is a paved trail along the river. This can get quite busy, so be respectful of other path users.
