At 129 ft, Burney Falls is one of the taller waterfalls in California — a fan waterfall worth seeking out.
Burney Falls sits on Burney Creek. You'll find it in Shasta County, California. It is protected within California State Parks.
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1.1 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Burney, the closest town.
When to go: year-round. Like most waterfalls, Burney Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
