Thermalito South Forebay Recreation Area
Small reservoir with calm water, reed-lined shorelines and open views toward the Sierra foothills — ideal for reflective waterscapes, migratory/wading birds, paddle-sports action and pastel sunrises/sunsets. Easy dirt paths and boat launches provide multiple shooting angles; free parking at the lot off Grand Ave. Best at golden hour and early morning for low wind and active birds; weekdays reduce human activity. No permit for casual shooting; bring insect repellent in warm months.
