Prepare to spend hours immersed in the
tranquil beauty of the Feather River.
Paddlers come here to escape the hustle and
bustle, savoring the peace and solitude. The
Lower Feather River offers ample
opportunities for flat water kayaking and
canoeing, with gentle stretches beneath Lake
Oroville's dam.
The winding river is lined with lush
greenery that delights the senses - willow
and cottonwood-shaded channels, peaceful
meadows, and scenic inlets. Rolling hills
blanketed in dense vegetation cling to the
riverbanks, creating a stunning backdrop and
prime spot for viewing fall foliage.
In spring, the countryside erupts in vibrant
wildflowers. A maze of merging waterways
beckons exploration, where you can take in
the rich, fast-changing terrain - scattered
pine, oak, and fern trees, rock
outcroppings, and an abundance of wildlife.
Keen-eyed paddlers may spot coyotes, foxes,
river otters, deer, and even beavers.
The Bidwell Canyon Campground, situated
within the scenic Lake Oroville State
Recreation Area near the city of Oroville,
offers a variety of camping options,
including both tent and RV sites. Perched
atop a bluff overlooking the shimmering
lake, the campground provides an array of
amenities to enhance the camping experience,
such as electric hookups, picnic tables,
fire rings, and much more.
Be sure to bring snacks, water, and a c amera
to capture the natural wonders. The
breathtaking scenes you witness will provide
beautiful memories to cherish long after
your time on the river.
