Bidwell Park

Highlight • Gorge

A truly amazing canyon, easily accessible from Chico. In spring, it's a wildflower explosion. There are several trails. Long pants are a plus, as there are rattlesnakes. It's still worth it!!

There is a parking area and viewing area here at the cliffs overlooking Big Chico Creek. The trails heading down to the water are best done on foot, but the views from the parking lot are still great.
