But Alligator Hole isn’t secret. It’s right in Upper Bidwell Park on the way to Bear Hole. It’s shallow (waist-level for adults at the deepest, I’d say). In fact, it’s so shallow you can let the kids play in the water near the shore without being a hovermom (or hoverdad). We took Alec yesterday for a preschool playdate, and the kids had a ball playing in the water, watching the little fish swim about and even a huge tadpole that was about to turn into a frog. It’s rocky and a little slimy in spots, but there’s a good-sized beach with both shade and sun. Alligator Hole is named for the rock in the (use your imagination, kids) shape of an alligator.

The lightning fires have made the air so smoky, the air quality experts are recommending kids be kept indoors. But once the air clears and we get back home to Chico, Alec and his dad are heading straight to Caper Acres. We are wishing the best for everyone during the fires; we miss you, Chico.
