Lake Oroville is a manmade lake that was created by Oroville Dam around the late 1960s. You can see the dam and the lake from the Lake Oroville Visitor Center complex which can be found atop Kelly Ridge. The visitor center comprises several aspects including a 47-foot viewing tower which will give you panoramic views of your surroundings; there are two high-powered telescopes at the top of tower which will let you see as far as Sutter Buttes Mountain Range and the Sierra Nevadas. Other features of the center are a museum, multiple exhibits and displays, videos, and a store. Some of the displays feature photographs and artifacts reflecting the native people who lived there, the area’s history, and the dam’s construction.
