Description
Lake Oroville State Recreation Area includes about 15,500 surface acres for recreation and 167 miles of shoreline, with recreation areas spotted around the lake.
Visitors can check out one part of the lake, the 300-acre Thermalito Forebay which is a day use area. It has a planted turf that is regularly watered and mowed. There are ramadas that provide shade for picnic sites containing a stove and one or two picnic tables. There are also three large group areas available by reservation through park headquarters, and drinking water is provided by faucet and drinking fountain.
Run on the 200-yard sandy swimming beach with men's and women's dressing rooms and flush toilets. However, the turf and beach areas of the North Forebay and Loafer Creek are closed to dogs.
Visitors can also go to the Thermalito Forebay South area, which has a parking lot, four lane boat launch ramp, picnic tables, a sandy beach, and chemical toilets. There is no shade or drinking water available here.
