Some folks prefer sunrises, but we’re partial to sunsets, and we don’t think they come any better than those shining their colors across a lake. Since they’re twice as nice if you’re surrounded by water, why not enjoy one the best way.
Both marinas have party boats, ski boats, fishing boats, waverunners, skis/toys available for rent at a nominal charge, and Lake Oroville Marina rents houseboats. You can get snacks to take along, as well as bait and tackle if you want to fish, in their grocery store. And then there’s the party barge — huge patio boat/dance floor/campsite/conference room — it’s all of these.
Camping and picnic facilities are available near both marinas. Call ahead to be sure of a boat when you arrive.
