Truckee

There are many issues with this stretch: access is limited along long stretches of canyon thanks to the railroad right-of-way; and the Piute Tribe controls the lower river reaches on the reservation for their Lahontan Cutthrout Trout hatchery and spawning beds. Also, the Derby Dam lies along the way.

Be sure to scout heavily and check current restrictions and access before thinking you’ll just float down and onto the Lake!
