The Oroville Wildlife Area offers multiple access points via Highway 162, Larkin Road, and Wilbur Road for the Thermalito Afterbay Unit, with boat launch access available and a 5 mph speed limit on most waterways.

The area provides camping facilities, restrooms, and parking areas off the levee, though specific parking space counts are limited.

Access hours are one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset (except designated camping areas open 24 hours), and the area is closed to public use from one hour after sunset until legal entry time the following morning.
