Big Chico Creek Access provides day-use facilities at Bidwell-Sacramento River State Park with a paved entryway, small unpaved parking area (13 passenger spaces plus 2 trailer spaces), and a 10' wide by 40' long sloped ramp for hand-carrying lightweight boats like kayaks and canoes.

The site includes three day-use picnic areas, accessible portable restrooms, and approximately one mile of walking/hiking trails, making it ideal for paddlers and day-use visitors.

Fishing is permitted with single-hook artificial barbless lures from November 1 through April 30 with zero limit.
