Inside McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park

McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park's centerpiece is the 129-foot Burney Falls, which is the biggest waterfall in the state. Hike or bike through the Burney Creek Trail and smell the incense cedars, oak trees, Douglas firs and ponderosa pines as you approach the falls. Burney Creek flows through the park and is the ideal place to go kayaking, canoeing and fishing; the creek flows over a 100-foot cliff before joining Lake Britten, so be careful. Anglers have been known to catch crappie, bass, bluegill and Lake Britton's trout in the creek.
