The Spillway Boat Ramp and parking lots are open to the public Friday through Sunday from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. The area will remain closed Monday through Thursday to accommodate ongoing construction except for the September 2 Labor Day holiday. DWR plans to open the Spillway Boat Ramp seven days a week this fall once major construction activities are completed, although access may be restricted again once construction ramps back up in spring 2020.
The public is advised to be aware of new security measures at Oroville Dam implemented in coordination with local and state law enforcement agencies to ensure public and facility safety. Specific security upgrades include security cameras, fencing, pop-up gates and two security kiosks. Vehicles will be screened and may be subject to inspection but no delays for entry or exit from the facility are anticipated.
Twelve boat launch lanes with three loading docks are currently available at the Spillway Boat Ramp area. Hikers, bicyclists and equestrians will enjoy access to the multi-use Potter’s Ravine, North Fork, and Dead Cow Ravine trails. The Day Use Area with picnic tables and restroom will also be open to the public.
