Nevada whitewater, Truckee River

Washoe county, Truckee River Whitewater Park Reno section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     0.5 miles
  This stretch of Truckee River in Nevada is 0.5 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The nature scenery of Washoe County and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Nevada are easier than the national norm, so better not forget that many of the rivers in this state are not very demanding. The beautiful Northern Sierra Nevada scenery is an added
    bonus. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Truckee River Whitewater Park Reno stretch is just one of them. You might
be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other places for that. This is a very short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. If you're coming from Reno-Sparks it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available  
very near the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby.
