It is a great thing that the city has decided to clean up the river and make the area a bit more friendly.
However, I have noticed when I drive by the park by the river, there are people swimming in the water with their cloths on and a ton of people just milling around. It kinda seems like we have tons of hobos that just hang out by the ...

Truckin' the River Walk
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/01/08
Reno has greatly enhanced its urban area - aside from the casino/condo conversions.
The River Walk is a delight throughout any season, and something to relish for residents and visitors, alike.
Not only is there aforementioned Wine Walk, but also, the NMA, National Auto Museum a fine theater and many local eateries, along with much local history.
Reno has much to offer and much in which to take pride.
I lived in Reno as a small child of 7 to my 13th b-day. Reno had a population of around 20K people. The Truckee River was my life. We used to ride our horses all over the place and end up everyday at the river. I used to catch baby fish in my cowboy boots where the fish ladder used to be just before the Virginia street bridge. I was thrilled ...
Our hotel (Plaza) was located right next to the Truckee river. Everyday we would stroll the river walk, maybe grab a bite to eat and sit on one of the many benches and watch kayakers maneuver their way along the river. It's a beautiful site, w/ the mountains in the background and the city landscape.
I love it there! Whenever I'm feeling even the slightest down, I go there and instantly feel better. It's beautiful. The shops are awesome and unique. The movie theatre there is my favorite. In the summer, there are movies and diffent types of musical/dancing events that go on at Wingfield Theatre. About every different type of person ...
They have a wine walk every third Saturday from 2-5 that is a lot of fun...never knew how mnay interesting shops, museums even magic theatre's they had arond Reno.

Can't wait to see it in the winter time!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/02/05
We really enjoy walking, so when we discovered the River Walk last Summer, we were pleasantly surprised. It is landscaped beautifully with small waterfalls coming out of the side of the walk ways, each one with a different wild animal motif. Plenty of benches and seating along the walkway for those who would just like to stop and enjoy watching the Truckee River flow. t is close to the Casinos and downtown.
