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.

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.   NEW FOR 2012:  Eight camping cabins, walking distance from the lake.

We operate a store and boat slip rental located right in the parking lot adjacent to the boat ramp.  In addition to grocery items, we rent small (Kayaks) and large (pontoon) boats, provide overnight slip rentals, and battery or trolling motor charging stations.
