North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve, Protected nature area in Oroville, California.
The ecological reserve spans 3,315 acres of elevated basalt mesa featuring volcanic formations, grasslands, seasonal waterfalls, and natural pools across the landscape.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife acquired this land in 1993 through Proposition 70 funding to protect the Northern Basalt Flow Vernal Pools habitat.
The reserve functions as an educational site for studying rare California endemic species, including the Butte County meadowfoam and California horned lizard.
Visitors need to carry a daily or annual lands pass, except those with valid California hunting licenses, fishing licenses, or organized youth groups.
The reserve contains one of only four known locations of Northern Basalt Flow Vernal Pools in California, supporting specialized plant communities.
