| Thermalito Afterbay, Feather River Nov. 24th, 2019 |
The Thermalito Afterbay is much larger than the forebay that I visited the day before. Power boats are allowed for fishing and there were several fishing boats already out fishing when I set out on the kayak. I brought sandals and insect repellent for this trip. My toes were a little chilly.
The monument Hill boat launch is right off the 162 freeway coming from Oroville. The bridge doesn't have a lot of clearance overhead. Birds nests line the underside of the structure.
It was a little chilly in the morning but still a spectacular day for November. The view of The Buttes mountains and a variety of birds make this a very nice place to paddle.
I hardly noticed the waves when the wind picked up or fishing boats zoomed by. I spent about an hour paddling and visited both sides of the bay under the bridge. There is a lot of area to explore with the outlet to the Feather River near Highway 70.
