About this place

Boca Townsite Trail showcases the boom and bust of the historic town of Boca as it transitioned from a construction camp for the Central Pacific Railroad to the Boca Mill and Ice Company and later to the Boca Brewery. Interpretive signs illustrate the many faces of the Boca Townsite as the trail winds uphill through what once was the historic town. A small cemetery is at the top of the hill. From Truckee take Interstate 80 east for six miles to the Hirschdale exit. Go north under I-80 for approximately 0.3 miles. Cross railroad tracks and take road immediately to the right for trailhead parking. Trail begins near the restroom.
