Black Butte Lake is a top destination from Orland for shoreline views, boat ramps, and scenic camping opportunities that can accommodate larger rigs. A drive east on CA-32 toward Chico provides open roads, rural vistas, and access to roadside pull-outs and nearby campgrounds for overnight stops. The Sutter Buttes are visible from country roads around Orland and offer a compact volcanic skyline that makes for pleasant scenic drives and photography stops. Interstate 5 serves as the primary route for longer day trips from Orland, with easy access to services and larger RV parks along the way.
