This place is magical any time of year. You can see the falls practically from the parking lot so if you have mobility issues, not a problem. The loop around has a lot of elevation change to it, but it's only about a mile long.
This place was awesome! The trail was perfect not to steep or long and they were well maintained, so many beautiful things to look at and the whole time you hear the waterfalls in the background. The waterfalls were amazing, so load and powerful! I will definitely come back to camp.
One of the most beautiful waterfalls I’ve ever seen! The best part is that a short 0.3 mile hike takes you right to the falls, and you can admire them the entire way since they’re visible throughout. We reached at noon - while the view from the top was stunning, we couldn’t get good pictures at the bottom because the sunlight was directly behind the falls. For better shots, try visiting in the morning or late afternoon. The trail is friendly and can easily be done with elderly visitors or infants, which makes it even better.
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
