Salmon Hole

The Salmon Hole is the ultimate destination for water-loving adventurers and nature lovers. Nestled in Upper Bidwell Park in Chico, California, Salmon Hole offers not only stunning views but also an unforgettable swimming experience. It's approximately a 1/2 mile walk from the closed gate near Bear Hole. The hike down to this secluded natural wonderland is a tad more challenging than some of the other swimming holes. But fear not, intrepid explorers, it's totally worth it. Majestic oak trees and nearby rock walls only add to the natural beauty. There, you'll find one of the largest pools of water in the entire Big Chico Creek, along with a few smaller pools sprinkled around for good measure. It's time to make a splash, have a blast, and experience the magic of this incredible swimming hole.
