Summary: Take a short stroll through the forest to these impressive rock formations. Big Bald Rock offers spectacular views overlooking Oroville Lake and the Sacramento Valley. The trail is an easy walk with a scramble over rocks near the top. (The trail is generally open for hiking from February to December, snow and road conditions permitting.) We posted no pictures of the view.WeI want this spectacular thing to be a surprise. Trailhead: reach Trailhead by taking the Oroville-Bucks Lake Rd (Hwy 162). Turn right on Bald Rock Rd. At USFS road 21N33Y turn off to the picnic area/trailhead (Lat:39.64593 Lon:-121.34077) Trail Guides for Big Bald Rock Trail: Trails of the Feather River Region by Scott J.

Reviewed by CSUCHICOstudent on 9/7/2009 Hike to the view was fairly easy. There is restroom available in the parking lot. There are other trails in the area too, just be sure to take the trail that is marked, "trail". My bf and I took the wrong trail for about 40 minutes until we finally met some people who told us we took the wrong trail. When on the correct trail, it took us no more than 5 minutes to get to the view. It was beautiful. I would definitely go back again. Got great pictures. I'm sure during sun rise and sun set would had also been great pictures. 
Reviewed by bonnie on 6/4/2008 Big Bald Rock is a beautiful hike. Once you get to the top you feel like you'r on top of the world. The view of the lake, mountains and valley is spectacular and streaches on for miles. Being able to watch a pair of eagles soar together so closely was a privalage. Once your up, you'll never want to come down.
Reviewed by Gayle on 11/26/2007 I've hiked to Bald Rock twice now and will definitely be back again. The views are spectacular! I highly recommend this hike to everyone who has an interest in the outdoors.
Reviewed by Bill on 7/18/2007 This really isn't a NEW review, but I've had to change the URL of my photos taken on the hike made by my granddaughter Cheyenne and I on 7/3/2007. Now, please visit http://tinyurl.com/yo948c to experience those pictures. Thank you...
Reviewed by Orchard Church on 7/7/2007 We took a group of 20 or so, mostly jr. high kids, rock climbing and rappelling. We had a great time exploring and seeing some of God's awesome creation.
Reviewed by Bill & Cheyenne on 7/3/2007 Great hike, and view once you get to the top. See my photos at http://tinyurl.com/9hks7. I'm a 67 year old grampa with stiff knees that uses a cane, so if I can make it, you can too. Then you could stop at the Sugar Pine (you'll pass it on the drive up) on the way down for a great burger.
Reviewed by ChicoMegan on 6/22/2007 We went here on a whim with our 4 year old sun. We had a ton of fun just exploring. When the official trail ends, you don't know which way to go. Just choose a direction and you'll get there. Once on the rock, its like another planet. Sooo cool!
