About
Located at the very end of the Truckee River rafting trail, River Ranch offers a dining experience that's as unique as its setting. This historic lodge, dating back over 100 years, features a menu of uncommon game meats like elk, alongside elevated progressive American cuisine with local, organic ingredients. The vibe is rustic and mountainous but with an eye for luxury, and the full bar and outdoor seating make it a great spot to unwind after a day on the river.
You can stop in for happy hour on the spacious patio bar during summer, and live entertainment is common. The lodge also offers 19 rooms if you want to stay overnight. It's dog friendly, and reservations are accepted. Expect a casual, welcoming crowd.
