Running
At the mouth of the Truckee River, where it flows into Lake Tahoe, you'll find an expansive wetland with trails and views of marshes, snow-capped mountains, and Lake Tahoe. This restored area, known as the Upper Truckee Marsh, is popular with birders and hikers but remains peaceful during off-peak hours. The California Tahoe Conservancy revitalized over 250 acres of floodplain here, restoring natural river flows to support native fish and bird habitat. The marsh plays a crucial role in filtering pollutants before they reach the lake.
