 | Burney Falls State Park
 | 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.

| Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park
| Ahjumawi is a place of exceptional, even primeval, beauty.
Brilliant aqua bays and tree studded islets only a few yards long dot the
shoreline of Ja-She Creek, Crystal Springs, and Horr Pond. Of the park's 6000
acres, over two thirds of the area is covered by recent (three to five thousand
years) lava flows including vast areas of jagged black basalt. The park is a wilderness area and most of the it is extremely rugged lava
rock. Be sure someone knows where you are going and when you expect to return.
Visitors should prepare adequately for their visit. Travel off the trails
requires proper preparation and equipment. |
