Nevada whitewater - Truckee River, Northern Sierra Nevada, Washoe County

Washoe county, Verdi to Mayberry Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-III     8 miles
  The Verdi to Mayberry Park section of Truckee River is 8 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-III section. The wonderful Washoe County scenery and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Nevada tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Great exercise and a
    chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. This is a pretty decent length section, suitable for an afternoon trip. The starting location is a short drive from Reno-Sparks, there's a road map further
down the page with more info on that. Whitewater paddling here in the Northern Sierra Nevada is a great experience. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you won't find a large number of other rivers. The Verdi to Mayberry Park stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system.
