Tujunga Wash

Tujunga Wash, south from Victory Boulevard

Tujunga Wash is a 13-mile-long (20.9 km)[1] stream in Los Angeles County, California. It is a tributary of the Los Angeles River, providing about a fifth of its flow, and drains about 225 square miles (580 km2). It is called a wash because it is usually dry, especially the lower reaches, only carrying significant flows during and after storms, which usually only occur between November and April. The name of the wash derives from a Tongva village name.[2]
