   #1 Downtown

   Downtown Oroville is also known as the historic neighborhood of Oroville. There are places to walk, shop and eat in this downtown area. Small breeds of dogs are more common than large because of rental restrictions on large ones. The Bedrock Park at 1101 5th Avenue gives a downtown dog a place to get some on-leash exercise. This park has some shade and a bench for a person to rest afterwards. The Rotary Park takes up an entire city block at 1200 Stafford Street. The Rotary Park has numerous walkways, a playground, and it makes for a perfect setting for a picnic lunch for two.

   #3 Thermalito

   Thermalito is a country-like area of Oroville. The most notable attraction here is the Oroville Wildlife Area. This large nature preserve includes gorgeous lakes for boating and fishing. Dogs can take a swim in the lake, and there is so much nature for dogs and people to explore. After a day out in nature, a stop at Pampered Pets at 46 Orpond Lane for a mutts-needed cleanup is a good idea. Lake water can linger on the fur, and the spa treatment at Pampered Pets can restore freshness to a dog’s coat. Fido’s been a good boy, so he deserves a little pampering!

It’s the pawfect place to camp, boat, fish, and do some horseback riding. Dogs may camp, but must stay on-leash during their visit. Loafer Ridge is another place to camp. It, too, has a large lake with a boat launch.There are also many trails to walk on. Some trails are dedicated horse trails so watch where you step!

   Twenty-three miles to the west of Oroville is the town of Chico. Chico is worth the drive because it has two off-leash places for dogs to get a good run in. The first is Degarmo Dog Park, located at 199 Leora Court. This off-leash dog park is new. There are shaded areas for a person to rest while a dog plays and socializes. Waste receptacles are provided for handy cleanups. The second area is Bidwell Park, located at 1968 East 8th Street. Bidwell is a park with a series of scenic trails with some dedicated to off-leash walking. Dogs must be polite to walk off-leash here, and the person is responsible for making sure their friend responds to voice commands.
