Oroville Wildlife Area — Attraction in Oroville

A big wild life area with graveled roads and ponds, and river access. It's great for fishing, canoeing, hiking, wildlife viewing, driving through and just hanging out for the day in order to get away from crowds. There are dear, bobcat, turkey and a great variety of birds. The sunsets are beautiful and there is a good variety of vegetation and rocks. The best part of this area are the little ponds, many if which are hidden away from view off of the main gravel roads that go through from one end to the other, so take the little dirt roads and explore. Be careful on the gravel some of the best drivers even in there high four wheel trucks get stuck. So avoid temptation and take the the long way around or walk down to check out the drives before you endulge your curiosity instead of plunging over the little boulders and...

This is a beautiful place to bring family, friends for bbq, etc... If you want alone quiet time go during the week like I do, it's amazing. I bought a jet ski and now I have this woderful place where (during the weekdays) I pack my ski go to one of the lil islands set my portable big umbrella as a wall, or curtain and sun bath in the nude. Nobody bothers me, heck nobodies are really there! A few boats and people but that's it. No bikini lines for this girl, though be aware of passing aircraft as I gave a helicopter crew a show of my naked back side, lol! But otherwise nobody around. This girl loves her jet ski such freedom, I'm tickled pink with joy!...

The dock at the boat launch needs to be longer. Or mor than one dock or idk something. Bc wen leaving everyone was going at once & there was a line. Plus u got these idiots who bring there boat out, launch it jus to basically fish rite off the dock. Like really, u needed to launch ur damn boat for that? U got all these ppl tryna leave needing the dock space & ur gona block it so u can fish. Yeah so there needs to be mor dock lol.

And maybe s'more picnic tables. U kno, come to think of it they'd do better to do a little landscaping & clear out sum grass/weeds & make the beach area bigger cuz it gets croweded & uncomfortable out there...
