Oroville Wildlife Area Access

The Oroville Wildlife Area Access provides multiple entry points to the 11,800-acre wildlife area along the Feather River, with headquarters access via Highway 162 (about 1/2 mile west of Highway 70) and additional access at Larkin Road and Wilbur Road for the Thermalito Afterbay Unit.

The area offers unimproved boat ramps along the Feather River near Vance Avenue and Palm Avenue entrances for car-top and trailer launching, plus a developed ramp at the Thermalito Afterbay Outlet with vault toilets and day-use facilities. Open from 1.

5 hours before sunrise to 1 hour after sunset, the wildlife area allows fishing, boating, and primitive camping in designated areas with no entrance fee required.
