Clay Pit State Vehicular Recreation Area

This off-road area provides good beginner terrain for off-road enthusiasts. The clay used to build Lake Oroville was taken from the Feather River Valley, three miles west of Oroville. The resulting depression, a large shallow pit ringed with low hills, is the site of this 220-acres recreation area. It is a motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle, and dune buggy use area. There is also a rifle range.
