Oroville/Lake Oroville

Rich agricultural lands, historic wonders, & outstanding outdoor recreation

Oroville, an early gold mining camp, was home to hundreds of ambitious miners along the Feather River. Several local attractions are of national significance, such as Feather Falls, the sixth highest waterfall in the United states, and the Sutter Buttes, the world's smallest mountain range. In the heart of the valley is the town of Gridley, rich in agricultural land and diverse wildlife.

Hidden treasures in the district include Lake Oroville, home of the nation's tallest earthen dam; Gray Lodge Wildlife Area, a wildlife haven; and Oroville Chinese Temple, a California Landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
