Class I-II Truckee River, NV

Mayberry Park to Cottonwood Park

This is the run that flows through downtown Reno and although the most well known section is the Reno Whitewater Park at Wingfield, there's more river to enjoy both upstream and downstream of the park. The river is in the midst of a major transformation and there are additional plans for recreational enhancements, some of which are described in the Truckee River Recreation Plan. City parks along the length of the run provide several options for access and allow you to customize your run. Be aware of the hazardous Chalk Bluff Diversion Dam, which should only be attempted by experienced kayakers and rafters. (Nevada Department of Conservation & Natural Resources)
