Truckee

Truckee is a large booming town located along the Truckee River and the railroad. The Town’s population is over 16,500 and is an incorporated township with their own police force, municipal services, a Mayor and town council.  (unlike the other communities around the lake which are overseen by their respective counties). Truckee, named for Washoe Indian Chief Trokay, was once a lawless lumber and railroad town. Much of its Old West charm still remains such as 19th century false-front buildings, bars that have remained open since the gold rush, and a train that runs through the middle of town. In addition, historic Commercial Row offers quaint boutiques, five-star restaurants and a visitor’s information center.  Truckee allows an easy drive to any of major ski areas – Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, NorthStar & Sugar Bowl – and any of the attractions that North Lake Tahoe has to offer. Plus I80 gives residents easy access to Reno, to the east, or Sacramento to the west.
