"To stick your hand into the river
is to feel the cords that bind the earth together in one piece." - Barry Lopez, River Notes
The Truckee River is the heart of our town. It has supported and enhanced our town throughout Truckee’s existence.
Our gift to future generations and ourselves will be to honor The River by making it accessible while preserving and protecting it. The River will entice us to walk beside it; hear its rushing and stillness; gaze upon it from parks and along its banks.
It is our obligation to do this.
It is Our Truckee River Legacy.
