Brad Freeman Trail to Oroville Dam (Ultra HD+Sound)

Ride along the water on Brad Freeman trail from Cherokee Road to the view of the infamous Oroville Dam spillway. Then turn around and ride back to Cherokee Road. Oroville Dam is the tallest earth-fill dam, at 770-feet, in the United States.

Why "infamous" you ask? In February 2017, heavy rainfall damaged Oroville Dam's main and emergency spillways, prompting the evacuation of more than 180,000 people living downstream along the Feather River and the relocation of a fish hatchery.

Oroville Dam and Lake Oroville lie in the foothills on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada and are one mile downstream of the junction of the Feather River’s major tributaries. The lake stores winter and spring runoff that is released into the Feather River to meet the project’s needs. It also provides pumped-storage capacity, 750,000 acre-feet of flood control storage, recreation, and freshwater releases to control salinity intrusion in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and for fish and wildlife enhancement.
