I’ve passed through the city of Chico a few times but never had the opportunity to stay and explore — so I had no idea it was home to this historic park with such a beautiful and varied landscape. There’s so much to see and do here, it truly is the “crown jewel of Chico.”

Join Huell as he visits Bidwell Park in Chico. Encompassing almost 3,670 acres, it is one of the largest municipal parks in the United States. 2005 marks the centennial of the park’s original gift of pristine California countryside by the Bidwell family, Chico’s founders, for the “pleasure of the people of said city for all time.”
