Winter Recreation
Between Lassen and Mt. Shasta, Burney is a hub for winter recreation.
You can snowshoe, sled, snowmobile, or cross-country ski hundreds of miles of
forest roads and trails.
Burney Falls State Park
Fed by mountain springs, the magnificent Burney Falls flows
year-round. McArthur Burney Falls Memorial State Park has camping,
hiking, and boating opportunities. The falls are so lovely that Theodore
Roosevelt pronounced them one of the wonders of the world. The Shortfalls loop
hike is a must if visiting the Intermountain area. Other hiking adventures can
be accessed through the park. Follow the PCT north for views of Lake Britton
and Pit 3 Dam. Follow the PCT south to climb through oak forests and view Hat Creek gradually.
Lassen National Park
Lassen National Park offers visitors many of the same volcanic
features that make Yellowstone the most popular National Park in America, with
less than half the crowds. Endless hiking trails, pristine mountain lakes, and
incredible views enchant all who visit.
Lassen National Forest
Lassen National Forest has incredible opportunities for fishing,
backpacking, hiking, ATV, and equestrian adventures. Home to multiple developed
campgrounds, wilderness areas, and day-use areas, you can easily find a place
to connect with. Visit or contact the Old Station Visitor Information Center
for up-to-date forest information and hiking trail maps.
Pacific Crest Trail
The Pacific Crest Trail is one of our country's most iconic
trails. The trail spans from Mexico, 2,650 miles to Canada. Our Inter-Mountain
area is about halfway through the PCT. Visitors interested in a shorter trip on
the PCT can backpack through Lassen National Park and Forest towards Mt.
Shasta. A great option for a day hike starts at Hat Creek Rim Overlook—dynamic
views of the Southern Cascade range trail through fields of wildflowers in the
spring.
Mountain Biking
Burney area is noted for its mountain biking, which runs hundreds
of miles on United States Forest Service roads in Lassen National Forest and
Modoc National Forest. Forest Service maps are recommended for all off-road,
backwoods bicycling. The most prominent peak is Burney Mountain, reportedly a
challenging 24-mile, 4,642-foot climb to the summit. Google
Maps recommends accessing McElroy Road, five miles south of Hat Creek on
Highway 89, a Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway leading to Lassen Volcanic National
Park.
Bicycle Road Riding
Fall River Valley is the premiere bicycle road riding area in
eastern Shasta County. Home of the 23rd Annual Fall River Century, the valley
has hundreds of paved miles with varying terrain and minimal traffic. Highway
299 is the 10-mile main thoroughfare crossing the valley from Fall River Mills
to Day Road. This primary highway has two to five-foot shoulders. A cyclist
should remain vigilant as logging trucks and heavy vehicle traffic pass.
Numerous side roads branch off Highway 299, offering largely unfettered access
to many backroads where drivers cross into the opposite lane to pass at a safe
distance.
Great Shasta Rail Trail
The Great Shasta
Rail Trail invites non-motorized recreation to connect you with nature on
80 miles of historic trail between McCloud and Burney.
