This is a very interesting place. Upstairs they have a wonderful exhibit on the Native peoples that lived here first. Nice gift shop, & there is a tower you can climb, that has incredible views . On the way in, you can see a rock, that was used to pound the acorns, & the holes in the rocks, came from the repeated pounding.
6. Feather River Fish Hatchery

The fish hatchery is a fun spot to stop and check out one of the main features of Lake Oroville/Oroville Dam. It plays a huge role in protecting the population of salmon and trout in the Feather River. In the fall, you can see migrating Chinook salmon as they return from the Pacific Ocean, and in the spring you'll see trout. The underwater viewing windows offer an up-close view of these (bigger than expected) fish, and you'll see them jumping up the fish ladder as they make their way to the main hatching facility. Self-guided tours are available daily, through guided tours offer greater insight and access (call to schedule an appointment).
