A real beautiful waterfall and park to explore, try to go see it after it’s been raining for the most impressive views! Only a short paved walk to the falls themselves with options for a long loop hike.

Definitely one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I look forward to camping here. The hike down the trail to the water fall is not that bad and coming up was either. I definitely recommend this to everyone. Everyone should visit this place atleast once in life. It is truly a beautiful place.

Burney Falls is absolutely breathtaking — truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. The waterfall is stunning, with water cascading down into a crystal-clear pool surrounded by lush greenery. The sound of the falls creates such a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere, and the cool mist makes it an amazing spot to relax on a warm day. The trails are well-kept, offering gorgeous views from different angles, and the whole park is very clean and inviting. Whether you’re hiking, taking photos, or just enjoying nature, Burney Falls is a must-see destination in California. I can’t wait to come back! The only thing is the facilities could use some upkeeps no soap no hand dryer or a way to dry your hands and most of the bathrooms were closed

What a beautiful walk to see an amazing waterfall, all downhill and up around. Unfortunately as you walk closer to the ice cold water at the bottom you are greeted by the trail of trash, debris, brown foam (build up from people just being gross) clothing that has been left behind on and inbetween the rocks. It's sad to see such a beautiful piece of nature being treated so poorly - don't complain and stomp your feet when it gets shut down.

Beautiful park. It is paved all the way to the bottom of the falls, but if you do the loop it is dirt, and a little rocky. It is a steep incline coming back up, make sure you take a bottled water with you. There are bathrooms and drinking fountains at the beginning of the trail. There is also a general store where the serve sandwiches, snakes drinks and souvenirs. You can rent cabins and camp in the park as well at designated areas. Lake Britton is at the very end of the park, and has day use areas bathrooms and a boat launch. There is a $10 fee for parking. It gets extremely busy so go early or later in the afternoon around 2-3. If they say there is no parking except by the lake go through and circle the closer parking lots there is always people leaving so you don’t have to walk the 1.5 from the lake to the trail head. Wear good shoes, I did wear flip flops and did the whole loop okay but I would recommend tennis shoes. There are plenty of benches alone the loop to rest. Also there are no dogs allowed on the trail, but they are welcome at the lake.
