How many miles northeast of Reno is the Lake that a 121 mile long river in California and Nevada empties into?
Truckee River The Truckee River is a river in the U.S. states of California and Nevada. The river flows northeasterly and is 121 mi long. The Truckee is the sole outlet of Lake Tahoe and drains part of the high Sierra Nevada, emptying into Pyramid Lake in the Great Basin. Its waters are an important source of irrigation along its valley and adjacent valleys.
Salt River (California) The Salt River is a formerly navigable hanging channel of the Eel River which flowed about 9 mi from near Fortuna and Waddington, California, to the estuary at the Pacific Ocean, until siltation from logging and agricultural practices essentially closed the channel. It was historically an important navigation route until the early 20th century. It presently intercepts and drains tributaries from the Wildcat Hills along the south side of the Eel River floodplain. Efforts to restore the river began in 1987, permits and construction began in 2012, and water first flowed in the restored channel in October 2013.
