Ever since Reno was founded in the 19th Century, the placid Truckee River flowed through the center of town. Then, in 1983, it was converted into a tourist attraction, which has become popular with residents as well.

Bulldozers, cranes and super-size trucks containing giant boulders configured a half-mile stretch of the formerly gentle waters into the kayaking and river-rafting venue. Now it's billed as the “only such river attraction to be built in the heart of a 24-hour casino resort city.”

Kayak Park and Prices

The Truckee River Whitewater Park at Wingfield, with its rapids, drop pools and slalom course, cost $1.5 million. While access to the white-water park is free, the experience can be pricey for participants who don’t bring their own gear. Area businesses rent kayaks from about $19 to $25 an hour. Rafts are also for rent (about $25 to $29 per hour with a four-person minimum) and attendant equipment – helmets, personal flotation devices (PFDs) and splash jackets —is available. All-inclusive tours, such as one called “Whitewater Rafting Adventure” are a good way to be introduced to the sport and cost about $50.
