    Perfect fun for all Pups

    I’ve been going to Bidwell Park for years now, it’s perfect for dogs! Dogs are allowed off-leash in Upper Bidwell Park where there are hundreds of miles of trails. My dog loves it here!

    Great for all Dogs

    Upper Park has areas where dogs can be off leash and lower park is on leash. Beautiful for dog and owner.
