Itinerary description
Out and back, from Glendale Park in Sparks to Chrissy Caughlin Park in Reno, just about covers the Truckee River from McCarran in Sparks to McCarran in Reno. 14.5 miles is the round trip. Sorry, elevation is screwy, just a 100 ft or so.
80% of the ride is on river bike paths, the balance on mostly bike friendly streets.
Glendale park and Chrissy Caughlin park both have brick flush restrooms
June 22, 2022 passed less than a dozen homeless/campers on ride. The new homeless shelter has added hundreds of available beds. Previously, campers could not be evicted from the river because there were no alternative shelters available.
Sparks Glendale Park directions, (NOT Cottonwood NOT) take Greg Street west from McCarran, (first traffic signal north of the River) then take Linda Way south straight into the park on Coney Island Drive.
Also, the corner of Greg and McCarran near the start/finish has a really diverse mixture of stores; a gas mart, a marijuana dispensary, a Starbucks, a sushi place, and Cappriotti sub sandwich shop.
