Description: 740 acres. These four units consist of gently sloping river banks, and uplands scattered with lodgepole and Jeffrey pines. The open areas are covered with sage and bitterbrush. Alder and willow are clustered along the gravel bars in the river.

Access: Type C area

Polaris Unit: There is no developed road access to the property.

West River Unit: South River Road runs west from Truckee through the property. The middle of the parcel is across the river from a gravel pit.

Boca Unit: From Interstate 80 east of Truckee, take the Hirschdale exit. There is some limited parking under the westbound span of the I-80 overpass and along Highway 40 to the left of the exit.

Union Ice Unit: The first parcel is about one half mile east of Hirschdale. The second is a mile further east and extends for a mile along the river. Both of these parcels are accessed from Iceland Road. The third parcel, north of I-80, is inaccessible.

Recreational Use

• Hunting is allowed daily during open seasons for legal species. Opportunities are very limited due to the size of the parcel. No rifles or pistols may be used or possessed.
• This area was acquired primarily as a fishing access site. Natural reproduction supports a good trout fishery in the Truckee River.
• Camping, trailers and fires are not allowed.

PLEASE NOTE: Area regulations are subject to change. Special restrictions on recreational uses, hunt days and methods of take are listed in the current year's issue of Hunting and Other Public Uses on State and Federal Areas, available at Fish and Game offices and places where licenses are sold.

Facilities: None
