This is a very interesting place. Upstairs they have a wonderful exhibit on the Native peoples that lived here first. Nice gift shop, & there is a tower you can climb, that has incredible views . On the way in, you can see a rock, that was used to pound the acorns, & the holes in the rocks, came from the repeated pounding.

A beautiful, tranquil lake for waterskiing and bass fishing.
Had no idea this place went on so far! Learned that Lake Oroville is the 3rd largest Dam in the nation and that its bigger than the Hoover Dam! Could see the dam all the way from the outlet!
