The Truckee River Whitewater Park is located in the heart of Reno’s downtown and arts district. It features 11 pools for kayak play, as well as a kayak racing course, and it plays host to the annual Reno River Festival. 7,000 tons of smooth flat-top rocks and boulders were installed along the river banks and in-stream for easy public access, spectators, and kayaking maneuvers.
