Explore Outdoors: 'Top Gun: Maverick' leaves mark on little visited Washoe Meadows State Park

Tucked below Echo Summit, along the Upper Truckee River, is one of the state's least developed — and sparsely visited — state parks. Washoe Meadows State Park is more than 600 acres of pristine woods and clear water. Known mostly to locals, this discreet spot is now getting big-time exposure thanks to a summer blockbuster movie featuring one of Hollywood's biggest stars.
