| This
man-made lake was formed by the tallest earth-filled dam (770
feet above the stream bed of the Feather River) in the country.
Encompassing approximately 28,450 acres near the City of Oroville,
the park features family and group camping, boating, an extensive
system of horse, bicycle and hiking trails and a state-of-the-art
horse camp. The park features "floating campsites,"
moored in a cove. The area includes the Feather River Fish Hatchery,
built by the Department of Water Resources to replace lost spawning
areas for salmon and steelhead. Displays of State Water Project
and the area's natural and cultural history are featured at the
visitor's center.
Four Campground Areas:
Bidwell Canyon, Spillway, Loafer Creek and Lime Saddle.
