Burney Falls: One of the Best Waterfalls in California

Рет қаралды 86,414

Күн бұрын

Burney Falls is a stunning waterfall in McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State park. The waterfall is over 120 feet tall and is so wide that it looks like multiple waterfalls in one. You can see it from the overlook right next to the park lot or by hiking down a third of a mile to the base of the falls. I also hike the falls loop trail in this video as well, which adds a mile and takes you up and around the waterfall. It is one of my favorite spots in California and let me know what you think in the comments.

I saw varieties of squirrels never seen before, soaring and feeding birds, a turtle hidden in the rocks in the flow beneath the bridge and thank goodness no one fishing!

One of my most favorite waterfalls ever. I've been here twice and got the entire waterfall to myself for quite some time since I usually come around 8-9 a.m. I'm planning to go back again next year. Also, anyone in the area should visit McCloud Falls, too, since it's close by. :)

Near Lassen National Park too. Which has a great campground on Manzanita Lake. Fishing regulations are: "The limit is two trout with a maximum size of 14 inches. Single barbless hooks and artificial lures are required." So you have to throw the big ones back - breeding stock.

Absolutely one of my favorite places of all time- even prettier then the waterfalls I saw on Maui in Hawaii. The Husband and I stumbled over this during our Honeymoon over a decade ago when he mistakenly booked part of our visit at Lassen that was snowed in...so I did research about other things to do in the area and though it was a bit of a drive it was so much fun that it's one of the priorities for taking our kids.

Truly the falls are the main attraction at the park, but there are also a variety of other trails and activities parkwide. Though the loop trail and the lower lake trail are closed this season for repairs and upgrades, there's still the rim trail, the headwaters trail, and the pioneer cemetery trail. There are also picnic areas with bbq grills, two campgrounds, a number of cabins that can be rented, a small beach at the lake where you can swim, a marina that rents kayaks and canoes, patio boats and paddleboats, as well as slips to dock your own boat. There's also the general store with supplies, souvenirs, and a snack bar. The park is open year round. The marina and cabins are open basically Memorial Day through Labor Day, and the general store from April till October.

According to Wikipedia: "The water comes from underground springs above and at the falls, which are 129 feet high, and provides an almost constant flow rate of 379 million litres per day,". I went on google earth to confirm and its pretty amazing. Upstream is what looks like a dry lake bed , then the rushing water of the falls. Side note, I've drank directly out of the spring feeding the falls and it was delicious, lol

@adriennefloreen Жыл бұрын

I went there a few days ago and it was in the 60s (F) in the parking lot, but as you descended down the trail to the falls the temperature dropped and when we were on the part of the walkway where there no longer was a wall or guardrail you selfie filmed yourself walking on it was in the 30s and like an ice sheet. By the time we got to the actual falls it was definitely below freezing and may have have been below zero. My boyfriend had to take my 4 year old to the car and me and my 8 year old did actually make it down but we had to butt scoot and crawl to make it there. There were large groups of tourists from around the world including people with infants and ladies from Iran with long dresses trying to make this trek sliding everywhere. It is open now but be careful, it may be a better hike to take in the summer than in November. I got some great videos of this experience and pictures too, including a picture of my iPhone falling in the water. Be careful at this spot.
