LAKE OROVILLE (CBS13) Lake levels are dropping to new lows, just as the boating season is kicking off.
Houseboats are being hauled out by the dozen as drought conditions are forcing big boat owners on Lake Oroville out of the water.
Houseboat owners told CBS13 they got letters saying their boats would be removed no matter what. The lake is down to one of the last launch ramps at Bidwell Canyon Marina. Boaters are forced to descend lower and lower to keep up with water levels.
The coronavirus pandemic has been nothing short of a call to action for many. Students, teachers, and administrators are all doing their part in the fight against COVID-19. This effort extends beyond Harvardâs campus to Surprise Valley, Calif., where co-captain Caroline Noble of the Radcliffe Womenâs Heavyweight Crew team is doing her part.
For the past three years, Noble has contributed to the Radcliffe squad on and off the water. One of Nobleâs favorite Radcliffe memories on the water was rowing six-seat in the Club Eight at Head of the Charles her sophomore fall. But the San Anselmo, Calif., nativeâs career has been anything but smooth.

Low lake levels give reason for concern
Lake levels are well below average as we near the end of January. This can have adverse effects on those using the lakes, as well as the habitat. The good news is, we still have half of our wettest season to look forward to which could lead to improvement.
