Reno is home to a variety of recreation activities including both seasonal and year-round. In the summer, Reno locals can be found near three major bodies of water: Lake Tahoe, the [[Truckee River]], and Pyramid Lake. The Truckee River originates at Lake Tahoe and flows west to east through the center of downtown Reno before terminating at Pyramid Lake to the north. The river is a major part of [[Artown]], held in the summer at Wingfield Park. [[Washoe Lake]] is a popular kite and [[windsurfing]] location because of its high wind speeds during the summer.

Skiing and snowboarding are among the most popular winter sports and draw many tourists. There are 18 ski resorts<ref>{{cite web|title=About Reno-Sparks |url=http://www.reno-sparkschamber.org/visitation.htm |publisher=Reno Sparks Chamber of Commerce |access-date=September 3, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727234333/http://www.reno-sparkschamber.org/visitation.htm |archive-date=July 27, 2011 }}</ref> (8 major resorts) as close as {{convert|11|mi}} and as far as {{convert|98|mi}} from the Reno–Tahoe International Airport, including [[Northstar California]], [[Sierra-at-Tahoe]], [[Alpine Meadows, California|Alpine Meadows]], [[Palisades Tahoe]], [[Sugar Bowl Ski Resort|Sugar Bowl]], [[Diamond Peak (ski area)|Diamond Peak]], [[Heavenly Mountain Resort|Heavenly Mountain]], and [[Mount Rose Ski Tahoe|Mount Rose]].
