FALL CREEK FALLS STATE PARK ?
McArthur-Burney Falls State Park
910 acres of forest and five miles of streamside and lake shoreline, including
a portion of Lake Britton. The park's centerpiece is the 129-foot Burney Falls.
Related Links Adventure No.146 McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial SP State Park The park is within the Cascade Range and Modoc Plateau natural region, with forest and five miles of streamside and lake shoreline, including a portion of Lake Britton
The park's centerpiece is the 129-foot Burney Falls, which is not the highest or largest waterfall in the state, but possibly the most beautiful
Burney Creek originates from the park's underground springs and flows to Lake Britton, getting larger along the way to the majestic falls
The park's landscape was created by volcanic activity as well as erosion from weather and streams
Within the park, the water emerges as springs at and above Burney Falls, where it flows at 100 million gallons every day
Location-Directions The park is northeast of Redding, six miles north of Highway 299 on Highway 89 near Burney
Special Events On the Sunday of Columbus Day weekend, the park hosts Heritage Day, featuring demonstrations and recreations of activities and crafts common to people during the late 19th century
Hiking There are five miles of hiking trails winding through the park's evergreen forests
Rumbling Falls- Into The Void

The effort to save the Park and Rumbling Falls Cave is a multi-organizational effort that needs your support
