Freeman Trail
Start at the dam and make your way through oak-studded, dirt-track Freeman Trail down a 750-foot elevation drop in just over one mile. You'll pop out along the Feather River and enjoy flat riding along some beautiful scenery. Just remember, you still have to go back up to get back to your campsite.
Oroville State Wildlife Area
More than 11,000 acres of watchable wildlife areas await you at the Oroville SRA, located just southwest of the city of Oroville. It's just a 20-minute drive from the Loafer Creek and Bidwell Canyon campgrounds.
Road Biking
The country roads surrounding Lake Oroville are ideal locals for road bikers. In fact, Kelly Ridge and Miners Ranch Roads are used during the annual City of Gold Triathlon, a scenic sprint triathlon held in May. Wear a helmet and be aware of traffic.
