Truckee Canal

17.7 miles | 605 ft | gravel

Description

Fairly easy going gravel ride with non-stop Nevada scenery – the Truckee River, mountains, sage brush, wild horses. Some sporadic climbs but fairly flat overall. Features some sandy sections that you may have to walk through but they’re fairly short. There is one USGS gated section that you’ll need to walk around. It’s a bit sketchy but not too bad. See photos below.
