McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park

Burney, CA

Nature

A 129-foot waterfall fed by springs, so it flows strongly even in late summer. The overlook is steps from the parking lot and a loop trail of about a mile leads down to the pool; day-use fee, and reservations are needed on summer weekends.
