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.
