Lake Oroville is a big attraction in these parts, along with 2 local indian casinos. Cannabis in the hills, so pay attention to private property signs. Historic downtown is quaint; Oro Dam Blvd is the central hub for shopping for most of the region - Sierra foothills, small towns, surrounding river valley. Nearby Forest land and communities have been recently decimated by wildfires.

description:
O-Ville: Historic downtown Oroville dates back to the gold rush, where the forks of the Feather River collide and rearrange the landscape. Flooding was common on the red dirt and granite mountains of oak & pines. Dam was built in the 1960's which formed the huge recreational Lake Oroville - for boating, skiing, fishing, camping, houseboats. Lush canyons, dry meadows, a variety of pine forests. Heavy residential town and lots of rural living in the foothills - river canyons, ranches, farms, gardens, orchards, greenhouses.
