Chico has downtown shopping, restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, plus a giant city park, bike paths & a huge University: Chico State. One of the biggest attraction is Bidwell Park, where the creek flows into shallow pools, swimming holes & secluded hide aways, a perfect solution for beating the heat.

description:
One of the biggest cities and hippest college towns in Northern California. Great downtown with lots of water ways, shops & cafes. Active live music scene and an awesome community radio station. Population increased overnight, after the neighboring town of Paradise burnt in a wildfire NOV 2018.
