Lake Oroville

30 MILES FROM CHICO
Lake Oroville is the perfect place for students interested in water sports, from waterskiing and rafting to fishing and swimming. The lake is located in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills and is replenished by the Feather River. Chico State’s wakeboard team uses the lake, and they’re always looking for new members!
