Chico

Chico sits between Big Chico Creek and Little Chico Creek in Northern California’s Sacramento Valley, where level valley streets meet the first rises of the Sierra Nevada foothills. Bidwell Park follows Big Chico Creek from urban green space into oak woodland and canyon terrain, giving the city a direct connection to its surrounding landscape. Downtown centres on historic City Plaza, while Bidwell Mansion State Historic Park preserves the Italianate home of John Bidwell, an early civic leader. California State University, Chico, founded in 1887, brings a longstanding college presence. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Chico and the Sacramento Valley.
