Oroville Wildlife Area Boat Ramp

The Oroville Wildlife Area Boat Ramp provides access to the Feather River within the 11,800-acre Oroville Wildlife Area, offering both improved and unimproved launch options including the Thermalito Afterbay Outlet ramp (combination gravel and articulated concrete block mat, recommended for 4WD vehicles when muddy) and several unimproved gravel put-ins near Vance Avenue and Palm Avenue entrances.

The area is managed by California Department of Fish and Wildlife for fishing, wildlife viewing, and boating, with primitive camping available in designated areas and no developed facilities at most unimproved ramps.
