Visitors of all ages will love spending some time exploring the Feather River Fish Hatchery, which can be found below Lake Oroville just along Feather River. The hatchery is split into two sections, the east side of Table Mountain Boulevard which comprises the fish barrier dam, observation platform, and underwater viewing area, and the west side, which includes the rearing ponds, hatchery, and spawning room. Fish are present in the rearing ponds throughout the year for visitors to see; the best time to observe salmon spawning is from mid-September to mid-November and steelhead spawning is best seen from mid-December to mid-February. If you happen to be visiting in September, be sure to stop by the Oroville Salmon Festival which is celebrated at the hatchery and downtown Oroville.
