(from Google)Absolutely the jewel of this town. It has tons of areas to swim at and lots of trails to explore. It's hard to believe that the town of Chico is just on the other side of the Hill.
Beautiful and scenic places. Love the hikes and definitely need to go with a person.
Diversion Dam – Upper Bidwell Park, Chico, CA Historic concrete dam set between basalt cliffs with rushing creek views. Popular for sunbathing and exploring, but currents are strong—swim with caution. Rugged path in, but worth it for the scenery and vibe.
A truly amzing ecosystem, should be a national park. Etheral rock structures, caves, it is very amazing. The trails are well managed, there is many animals and birds, and it is all beatiful.
Hiked the Yahi Trail. Beautiful fall colors and temperatures are perfect this time of year. Kid friendly adventuresome hike for 8 year old. The trail is mostly flat and runs along the creek. Lots of places to meditate or have a picnic. We went back on the road which was not too bad given we saw only five cars. Beautiful park great for hiking and summer swimming.
