Just off the Pacific Crest Trail, Burney Falls isn’t quite the tallest or most famous waterfall in inland Northern California, but it’s absolutely worth the trek. After about an hour of windy mountain driving from Redding and into McArthur-Burney Falls State Park, the waterfalls will be visible right from the parking lot. There’s an easily walkable paved trail to the base of the falls, along with other trails that lead around the falls and to the nearby lake.
The waterfall itself is just about 129 ft high, but additional water trickles between the rocks from various springs, creating an impressive wall of water that cascades into the basin below.
