Prepare to spend hours of discovery paddling
down the Feather River. Paddlers come here to
enjoy the peace and solitude, away from the
hustle and bustle of city life. Flat water
kayaking and canoeing opportunities are
plentiful on the Lower Feather River along the
more gentle stretches beneath Lake Oroville’s
dam.
The winding Feather River is lined with lush
greenery to delight your senses as you
paddle through willow and cottonwood-lined
channels. You’ll pass through peaceful
meadows with scenic inlets along the way.
The river is surrounded by rolling hills
covered with dense vegetation that clings to
the banks of the river, making it a popular
destination to view fall foliage.
In the spring, wildflowers bring vibrant
color to the countryside. A maze of winding,
merging waterways begs to be explored. Take
in the rich, fast-changing terrain,
scattered pine, oak, and fern trees, and
rock outcroppings, while keeping a sharp eye
out along the way for the abundance of
wildlife that feeds along the river’s bank.
You’re likely to see
coyotes, fox, river
otters, plenty of deer and even a few
beavers.
Bring
along a snack, plenty of water and your
camera
to capture the wildlife and scenic
wonders! The beautiful images you’ll bring
home will provide beautiful memories for a
lifetime.
