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.

If you live in California or anywhere near, you must see Burney Falls. I meditate, and usually port myself to a cove near Santa Cruz, but I think I found my go to serenity place to calm my mind. The multi sensory experience at Burney Falls is amazing. Take the 1.2 mile loop trail to get a full view of the falls from so many perspectives. When you are at the pool you can not only see the beauty, but feel the cool mist and feel the power of the water. Take the time to really take in the beauty....life is a true gift! Places like this, can save your life!!

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!
