Prepare to spend hours of discovery paddling down the Feather River. Paddlers come here to enjoy the peace and solitude, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Flat water kayaking and canoeing opportunities are plentiful on the Lower Feather River along the more gentle stretches beneath Lake Oroville’s dam.

The winding Feather River is lined with lush greenery to delight your senses as you paddle through willow and cottonwood-lined channels. You’ll pass through peaceful meadows with scenic inlets along the way. The river is surrounded by rolling hills covered with dense vegetation that clings to the banks of the river, making it a popular destination to view fall foliage.

In the spring, wildflowers bring vibrant color to the countryside. A maze of winding, merging waterways begs to be explored. Take in the rich, fast-changing terrain, scattered pine, oak, and fern trees, and rock outcroppings, while keeping a sharp eye out along the way for the abundance of wildlife that feeds along the river’s bank. You’re likely to see coyotes, fox, river otters, plenty of deer and even a few beavers.

Bring along a snack, plenty of water and your camera to capture the wildlife and scenic wonders! The beautiful images you’ll bring home will provide beautiful memories for a lifetime.
