Nevada whitewater, Truckee River Mayberry Park to Cottonwood Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-III     10 miles   If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so you'd better keep in mind that quite a few of the sections in this state are pretty easy. The put-in is not too far from Reno-Sparks, as you can see on the road map further down. The scenic beauty of -blank- County and the water flowing gracefully down Truckee River beats anything. The Mayberry Park to Cottonwood Park stretch     of Truckee River in -blank- County is 10 miles long and has been rated as a class I-III section by American Whitewater. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. There are plenty of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. No need to look hard for hotels, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. When you're paddling down a Northern Sierra Nevada river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not   make it an overnighter, so go ahead and pack your camp stove. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. Briefly about the general area: Good hiking is available along the Mount Rose Trail; a short trip to Moana Hot Springs is always worthwhile. That right there is a lot of exciting stuff already but it goes on, the Northern Sierra Nevada has it all. At Truckee River you always meet someone from Reno; the skiing at Mt. Rose is perfect. A river like this is too good to miss. If you want to hit the beach, South Beach is close by.
