Truckee River
The Truckee River (Washo: dabayóduweʔ) is a stream in the U.S. states of California and Nevada. The river flows northeasterly and is long.〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed October 20, 2012〕 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.
==Naming of the river==
When John C. Frémont and Kit Carson ascended the Truckee River on January 16, 1844 they called it the ''Salmon Trout River'',〔 after the huge Lahontan cutthroat trout (''Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi'') that ran up the river from Pyramid Lake to spawn. However, the river was ultimately named after a Paiute chief known as Truckee who in 1844 guided an emigrant party from the headwaters of the Humboldt River to California via the Truckee River, Donner Lake, and Donner Pass. Appreciative of their Indian guide's services the party named the river after him.〔(Truckee River Chronology ), State of Nevada Division of Water Resources〕 The chief's real name might not have been Truckee, but perhaps ''Tru-ki-zo'', which could have become distorted as "Truckee". There are numerous other theories about Chief Truckee and his name.〔(Chief Truckee ), Truckee-Donner Historical Society〕
