McArthur-Burney Falls State Park

Burney Falls California
Burney Falls Store and Gift Shop
Burney Falls Marina Lake Britton California
Lake Britton California Picnic and Swim Area

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. Additional water comes from springs, joining to create a mist-filled basin. Burney Creek originates from the park's underground springs and flows to Lake Britton, getting larger along the way to the majestic falls.

Within the park, the water emerges as springs at and above Burney Falls, where it flows at 100 million gallons every day.

Clear Lake State Park is on the shores of California’s largest freshwater lake. The area is popular for all kinds of water recreation, including swimming, fishing, boating and water-skiing.

Anglers can catch large mouth bass, crappie, bluegill and channel catfish. The park is the nesting place for waterfowl.

Hikers enjoy the Indian Nature Trail, a self-guided trail that shows how the Pomo people, who lived in the area for centuries, utilized the area’s resources. The trail passes through the site of what was once a Pomo village.

The park visitor center features displays about the area’s natural and cultural history.

The park includes a 147 space campground with lots of shade and most spaces a short walk from the lake
