McArthur Burney Falls State Park

Plan Your Vacation -- California

McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park

The park is within the Cascade Range and Modoc Plateau natural region, with 910 acres of forest and five miles of streamside and lake shoreline, including a portion of Lake Britton.

The park's centerpiece is the 129-foot Burney Falls, which is not the highest or largest waterfall in the state, but possibly the most beautiful.

Burney Falls Cabins  New for 2007!

 

In 2007, 24 new cabins have been added to the campground.  Now, you can enjoy Burney Falls in the comfort of an insulated cabin.  Cabins have bunks and a roomy covered porch, a locking front door, and room outside for a tent and a campfire.    Cabins have propane heat (included in the nightly rate) but no electricity or plumbing.  Bathrooms and showers are in a nearby building. (Click on pictures at the left to see more detail).

Cabin Reservations

Currently, the 12 smaller one-room cabins are $65 per night and include two singe bunk beds and two extra mattresses.  The 12 larger two-room cabins are $85 per night and include four single bunk beds.  There is plenty of space inside for chairs or additional sleeping bags on the floor.  An accessible version of each cabin is available.

Teddy Roosevelt once described Burney Falls as the "eighth wonder of the world".  Great views of the falls are accessible right from the parking lot, while a short easy hike takes you to the base.  A 1.3 mile trail circles the falls.
