Truckee River

Wingfield Park in the summertime is an excellent place for recreation and relaxation. There is access to shade, grass, foot bridges, foot paths and views of the white water features.

The Truckee River flows right through downtown Reno! As summer activities go in Reno, it is hard to top relaxing or adventuring on the Truckee.

  1. Wingfield Park – Bask in the sunshine, and watch some action in the whitewater park. Get in the water with some wading, or put on the swimming trunks and take a dip.
  2. Do a float – Bring your favorite inflatables to float the whole crew. If you need gear, rent tubes for a guided or self-guided float, with options for shuttle service.
  3. White water rafting – If you prefer thrill-seeking over relaxing, a 45 minute drive brings you upriver to prime white water rafting territory.

Downtown and Reno RiverWalk

  1. Winewalk – Held once a month, a Wine Walk will start your party with an afternoon of sipping wine while visiting local Reno RiverWalk businesses.
