East Reno/Sparks to Pyramid Lake section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
The East Reno/Sparks to Pyramid Lake stretch of Truckee River is -blank- miles long and it is classified as a class I-II(III) section by American Whitewater. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Reno-Sparks, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The wonderful Washoe/Storey County scenery and the cool fresh water have people coming here. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better
reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The East Reno/Sparks to Pyramid Lake section is the only paddling section along Truckee River. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. If you've been whitewater
rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less demanding.
