Swim In Big Chico Creek

In many ways the center piece of the City of Chico is Bidwell Park, and without a doubt the center piece of Bidwell Park is Big Chico Creek.  The creek provides a riparian area lush with spreading Sycamore trees, and towering Oaks and an assortment of other trees and scrubs too numerous to note. Dirt paths wind along its banks, and paved walking and bicycling trails run on either side of the stream. Temperatures here in Chico were in the mid-eighties again yesterday and we spent some of the afternoon enjoying the shade of Bidwell Park.  Maggie, our daughter-in-law, however was the only one brave enough to enjoy swimming in Big Chico Creek.
