Thermalito Diversion Pool Boat Ramp

This boat launch provides access to the Thermalito Diversion Pool, a scenic stretch of the Feather River about 4. 5 miles downstream from Oroville Dam.

Note that gasoline-powered motors are prohibited—only electric motors and non-motorized vessels like kayaks are permitted, with a strict 5 mph speed limit.

The facility is managed by California State Parks and the Department of Water Resources, offering opportunities for paddling, fishing, and hiking along the adjacent Brad Freeman Trail.
