McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, State park near Burney, California.
Burney Falls plunges 129 feet into a wide pool, releasing millions of gallons of water daily through volcanic cracks and underground springs.
The California State Park system designated this natural area as a protected zone in 1926, making it the second oldest state park.
Native American tribes of Northern California used this water source for generations, establishing settlements and fishing grounds near the falls.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails, fishing spots, and camping areas throughout the 910-acre park grounds between sunrise and sunset.
The waterfalls maintain a constant flow rate of 379 million liters each day regardless of season due to underground aquifers.
