Truckee Meadows
Evergreen park offers beautiful views of Truckee Meadows, where various creeks and irrigation ditches flow from the higher elevations of the mountains in the Carson Range and the Truckee River. Starting as high as 9,000 feet in the mountains, creeks such as Thomas and White Creeks flow through the US Forest Service property, through neighborhoods and private property, and empty into Steamboat Creek. From there the water flows to the Truckee River and eventually, into Pyramid Lake.
