Description

This is the shortest segment of trail at only 10.0 miles long. It passes through the beautiful McCarran Ranch preserve allowing recreationalists to enjoy the beautiful wetlands of the Truckee River. This trails are mostly flat packed dirt with some sandy areas. Given the trail passes through wetlands, some areas may be flooded or overgrown so you may need to walk your bike. 

The Nature Conservancy has allowed users to pass through this area so please read the rules and regulations before visiting to maintain the longevity of this trail. 

Other Information

There are very few services or lodging in the area so please plan accordingly.
