Families, friends, and romantic interests will love Lake Oroville Marina at Lake Oroville State…read moreRecreation Area. Getaway...really away...and enjoy the best boating, fishing, swimming, wildlife viewing and more! With 167 miles of forested shoreline, come prepared to get lost in nature. Have your own boat? Outstanding. If not, Lake Oroville Marina is fully-equipped and 5-star staff is there to serve. Watercraft rentals -- party, fishing and power boats, personal watercraft -- or houseboat rentals, there is absolutely something for everyone including wave board rentals and tubing. We enjoyed three days and two nights of Forever Resorts houseboating pleasure. Home was never like this! In fact, our 4-bedroom houseboat was larger than my first home. Waking up on the water...there's nothing quite like it. Not my first houseboating experience and I hope it won't be my last. The houseboats have all the amenities and are fully equipped. You just show-up with food and drink and away you go. Great for groups who can share the costs -- very economical. Nothing more incredible than starlit skies, quiet nights, or sunrise and sunset over the lake. If you have your own fishing boat, bring it along. Lake Oroville provides world-class fishing opportunities. Plus, wonderful to explore the various arms of the Feather River and stunning waterfalls. The lake temps are the perfect chill for a warm summer day. Floating, boat-in and group camping managed by California State Parks. Nearby Chico and historic Oroville provide other diversions, too. If you're feeling lucky, check out Gold Country Casino. Lake Oroville Marina is managed by Forever Resorts an authorized concessioner of the National Park Service and state and public agencies, and operates under special use permits with the USDA Forest Service. They are an excellent host!

Viral images of the drought in California would have you thinking that Lake Oroville is basically…read moredrained of all water. Contrary to public perception however, there is still water at Lake Oroville- several hundred feet of it actually and boating is still one of the best ways to enjoy this gorgeous lake. My group was looking to rent a boat for a weekend in August to facilitate our camping trip on one of the floating platforms and Lake Oroville Marina was the only marina on the lake still renting out boats for overnight use. The marina has sunk with the water quite a bit and you'll have to do a short two minute hike to get down to it. If you have equipment with you, they have carts to shuttle your equipment to the dock. Once you get there, you'll see a large selection of Forever Resort boats and a store with last minute supplies (aka beer and water). There are a number of houseboats further off in the distance too. There's a lot of exploring you can do once you leave the marina- it took us almost an hour to get out to the dam. As a quick side note, you will need to pay $6/day to park at the marina. I had reserved a 26 foot deck boat in advance and I have to give the staff major props. They spoke at length with me on the phone to ensure that I got a boat that fit my needs and would be available when I arrived. I have to give their 26 foot deck boat even more props. It was even bigger than I thought it would be and did everything I needed it to do- it held 8 people and their gear without problem, it moved fast, had large enough fuel capacity that I could boat around for a day and still have gas at the end, HAD A BATHROOM, and was VERY comfortable. I'm emphasizing this last part because the boat was comfortable enough that four of us actually opted to sleep in the boat rather than in our tents. That's how nice this boat was! I absolutely loved driving it, towing our ski tube with it, and just relaxing in it with friends. Seriously- this boat exceeded my expectations in every regard. Remember to keep an eye on the gas tank though. 8 people can get heavy and your gas can run out faster than you think. Take care of it though, and this boat will take care of you back. Upon renting our boat, the folks at the Lake Oroville Marina went over driving instructions, rules of the water (you need to put on your navigation lights if you're going to drive at night!), and gave us directions to our destination. After that, it was all us. I had an absolute blast at Lake Oroville and it began and ended with the Lake Oroville Marina.
