Lake Oroville sees slower holiday weekend with record-low water levels
OROVILLE, Calif. – Lake Oroville did not look quite as busy this Labor Day weekend as the water now sits at its all-time low, below 630 feet.
“With these conditions, it just doesn’t feel right anymore,” Jesse Quiles, who was visiting from San Francisco said. “It doesn’t feel like the summertime when I was a kid.”

Quiles told Action News Now that he remembers a much fuller lake when he was out on the water 15 years ago.
“Now I am standing where fish used to be in schools and I can’t believe how many ramps there are,” Quiles said.
