The 129-foot Burney Falls was named after Samuel Burney. McArthurs settled in the area in the late 1800s. Then descendants of the McArthur's saved the waterfalls and area from development and donated it to California state in 1920.
Address: McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, 24898 State Highway89, Burney, CA 96013 * (530) 335-2777
The upper falls overlook is directly off of the parking area. A short paved path leads to a stone wall that overlooks the massive waterfall. There are two options to get to the bottom of the waterfall. Option one is to take a paved curvy path that consists of steps and smooth walkways. Option two is a 1.2 round trip smooth dirt hiking path that starts at Lake Britton. It follows the lake and stream that leads from the falls. A wheelchair, stroller, or challenged walker can easily take this path to the lower falls.
