NOTE: We are having a POTLUCK at the park.
The park’s landscape was created by volcanic activity as well as erosion from weather and streams. This volcanic region is surrounded by mountain peaks and is covered by black volcanic rock, or basalt. Created over a million years ago, the layered, porous basalt retains rainwater and snow melt, which forms a large underground reservoir.
Within the park, the water emerges as springs at and above Burney Falls, where it flows at 100 million gallons every day.
Park Fee: $10.00 CASH ONLY per vehicle
Pets are not recommended as they cannot walk the trails.

Burney Creek originates from the park’s underground springs and flows to Lake Britton, getting larger along the way to the majestic falls.
