Upper Bidwell Park

We don't rate places, roads or trails as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a ride is, and places riders like draw more riders, so they see more crashes. Police crash reports cover public roads, so falls on trails aren't in them. The records here are also incomplete: most nearby reports are filed under Chico, where only 46% of reported bike crashes have a map location, so the numbers here are too low. What the records show: no bike crashes were reported within a mile of Upper Bidwell Park from 2021–2025.
