Burney Falls

Burney Falls is a waterfall on Burney Creek, within McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, in Shasta County, California. The water comes from underground springs above and at the falls, which are 129 feet high, and provides an almost constant flow rate, even during the dry summer months. The falls are an example of river drainage regulated by stratigraphically-controlled springs, and of a waterfall formed by undercutting of horizontal strata. The falls are at their most intense during the spring, from early April through October, when snowmelt is at its peak. The pool below the falls is a popular location for catch-and-release fly-fishing, and the falls can be enjoyed from above at a lookout point or from the pool at the base of the falls, accessed via a trail
