Burney Falls, McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park

McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park is in Shasta County, near the town of Burney. It is most known for Burney Falls, which is 129 feet in height and is one of the state's most beautiful waterfalls. Visitors may enjoy a variety of leisure activities almost all year.

From the parking area, an ADA accessible path leads to Burney Falls. There are several ADA-compliant restrooms, and some of the campsites and cabins are also accessible. There is also a 3/4-mile accessible trail that runs beside Burney Creek and includes an accessible fishing pier. President Teddy Roosevelt once called Burney Falls the "eighth wonder of the world," and they are definitely worth a visit. Water is supplied by underground springs at the top of the falls, which give a nearly continuous flow of water throughout the year. The outcome is a wall of water that seems to erupt from the mountain's side before plunging over a hundred feet into a pool at the base.
