Lake Clementine features great opportunities for boating, fishing and boat-in camping. The lake has less than 3 miles of navigable waters, through a narrow winding canyon. Less than 2 miles is free of 5 MPH no wake zones. The lake has a small marina where annual and daily boat slip rentals are available, and fuel and ice are sold: call (530) 885-5097. There is a single boat launch, and parking is limited to 25 trailers, 15 of which reserved for campsites.

This man-made lake was formed by the tallest dam in the country (770 feet above the stream bed of the Feather River). Encompassing approximately 28,450 acres near the City of Oroville, the park offers family and group camping, boating, an extensive system of horse, bicycle, and hiking trails, and a state-of-the-art horse camp. The park features floating campsites and mooring in a cove. The area includes the Feather River Fish Hatchery, built by the Department of Water Resources, to replace lost spawning areas for salmon and steelhead. Displays on the State Water Project and the area's natural and cultural history are featured at the Visitor's Center.
