Last weekend Sue and I visited Lake Orville and was able to witness a rare occurrence of water gushing down the 3000'+ spillway and crashing into the blocks of concrete called "baffles" which dampen the force as it enters the Feather River. It creates a fairly good "wind" across the river sending plumes of mist across the river and up the opposite side of the river and up the hill a few hundred feet!! Such a sight to see and witness:):) Enjoy if you can!
