Lake Oroville State Recreation Area - Thermalito Forebay

Lake Oroville's Thermalito Forebay access site provides boat launch facilities for users of California's second-largest reservoir. The forebay is a settled water area upstream of the main lake, offering relatively calmer conditions compared to the main body of Lake Oroville. This location serves as an important access point for recreational boaters, anglers, and paddlers looking to enjoy the extensive water resources in the Oroville area of Butte County. The site is part of the Lake Oroville State Recreation Area system, which manages multiple access points around the reservoir.
