Legal River Access

Video on How to Legally Access the Truckee River Around Private Property

"The Truckee River belongs to all of us — and there’s a right way to access it."

"In Hirschdale, the public has a legal right to access the river through the 40-foot public road right of way… and to walk the riverbank below the ordinary high-water mark."

“We don’t support trespassing. We do support responsible access — following the law, respecting private property, and caring for this incredible place."

"That means knowing your rights… and doing your part. Pick up trash. Stay on the river bank to avoid entering private land. And leave the river better than you found it."

"Respect the river.
Respect the land.
Respect each other.”

“That’s the right way."
