This is a beautiful landscaped river walk through downtown Reno and on into residential neighborhoods with birds, gardens and walkways down to the water. A real treat! More

The River Walk has been re-done and is an excellent place to walk and enjoy scenery as well as the wild life. There are many interesting sculptures along the path, little fountains and nature pictures. We watched a mother duck and her little ones on our last visit. There are places to sit and paths to get closer to the... More

We have been visiting Reno for years but this was our first time taking the River Walk. It was a very lovely experience and we hope to repeat it next trip. There was nothing about it to dislike. It was just a pleasant experience on a beautiful warm day in May. More

You can't go wrong with a walk along a rushing river! Although there was a bit more litter than we would have liked, the River Walk was a high point of our trip. We enjoyed watching the kayakers working in the rapids and observing the people at their various types of play along the river park. You can walk for... More

Within walking distance to the S. Virginia Street casinos, there is this river area of the Truckee River that has a portion modified to allow kayakers to manuver mild rapids. There is a Century theater right next to it and a few restaurants on the walkway itself or near to it. We enjoyed a small out of the way greek... More

The homeless tend to camp out here so it can smell at times. The greenery needs to be more manicured. Little kids need to be watched closely. The flow of the river tends to be stronger then it looks. It is a nice location for picnics and barbeques. The table areas can use a good wipe down. More

Loved the access from downtown. Good pathway with room for all. Nice way to get out of the casinos and get some vitamin d. Fun to watch the kayakers on the river. More
