Nevada Whitewater

Raft | Kayak | Canoe


Nevada may be known for its deserts and casinos, but the state also offers some thrilling whitewater and kayaking opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. One popular destination is the Truckee River, which flows from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake. The Truckee River offers a variety of runs for all skill levels, with the most popular section being the Truckee River Whitewater Park in Reno. This park features man-made features such as drops and waves, making it a great spot for kayakers looking to practice their skills. Recommended streamflow levels for the Truckee River are between 300-1,000 cubic feet per second for optimal whitewater conditions.

Another must-visit river for whitewater enthusiasts in Nevada is the Carson River, specifically the Carson River Canyon run. This run offers class II-III rapids and stunning scenery as it winds through the Sierra Nevada mountains. It is best navigated in the spring months when snowmelt increases the water levels, providing exciting whitewater conditions. Safety is paramount when kayaking or rafting in Nevada, so always check current streamflow levels, wear appropriate safety gear, and be aware of potential hazards such as rocks and strainers. With its diverse range of river runs and beautiful landscapes, Nevada is a hidden gem for whitewater and kayaking adventures.
