I went early morning and the trail was pretty much empty. I loved every second at burney falls. Everything was just breathtaking. Words can not describe the beauty of the waterfalls, the trees the rocks covered in moss. It was very peaceful.

Wow! This is a must-stop. The trail is well-marked and worth making the loop. You can also just enjoy the falls from the lookout.

Truly a wonderful beauty of nature. We went early to avoid the crowds, and it was worth it. Definitely love the trail to the base of the falls. It's amazingly beautiful. A must see!

The waterfall is breathtaking. And the waterfall never was closed last year. We were able to see the fall from the overlook close to the waterfall. This year the path to the waterfall is open and you can hike the loop. Last year the path only was closed for maintenance to clear the tree roots and brush. You can stand close enough that the mist brushes you in the face. I am not posting a picture because no picture is going to be anything like being there in person. Just so incredible. $10 to get in to the State park for the day is a bargain.

This place is absolutely gorgeous and the waterfall is breathtaking! We went on the 1.3 mile Burney Falls Loop. The loop is an easy loop. I would recommend layers because it can get colder when you get closer to the waterfall. I would also wear hiking shoes to climb down in the rocks if you want a closer view of the waterfall. I would also recommend going very early to avoid the crowds. Lots of people travel here because the waterfall is so breathtaking so it's nice to go early and avoid all the people. We waited in line to get in, although at that time the line was moving quickly. This place is definitely worth checking out. The trail and area are well kept up and we really enjoyed walking the loop. There are benches if you want to rest and take in the beauty that surrounds you! There are lots of trails and lots to explore and we hope to come back and explore more! It really is such an incredible place! It's worth bringing a picnic or lunch and really spending time here soaking in the views because they are spectacular!
