- Burney Falls is a waterfall on Burney Creek, within McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, in Shasta County, California. The water comes from underground springs above and at the falls, which are 129 feet high, and provides an almost constant flow rate of 379 million litres per day, even during the dry summer months. Burney Creek is a tributary of the Pit River which has its mouth on the Lake Britton reservoir to the north. The falls are an example of river drainage regulated by stratigraphically-controlled springs, and of a waterfall formed by undercutting of horizontal strata. Called "the Eighth Wonder of the World" by President Theodore Roosevelt, the falls are "at their most intense ... during the spring, from early April through October, when snowmelt is at its peak". The falls were declared a National Natural Landmark in December 1954. In March 2021, a National Geographic article declared the site to be one of "northern California’s most spectacular waterfalls". The water temperature rarely gets higher than 42 degrees but the pool below the falls is a popular location for catch-and-release fly-fishing. The Redding tourism website states that the falls "can be enjoyed from above at lookout point", and preferably, from the pool at base of the falls, accessed via a trail. Some of the waterfalls scenes for Willow (1988) were shot at the falls, although Powerscourt Waterfall in Ireland was also used for filming. Other movies with scenes filmed at Burney Falls include, Stand by Me (1986), The Parson and the Outlaw (1957) and Tarzan's Fight for Life (1958). (en)
- Las cascadas o cataratas Burney (en inglés, Burney Falls) son unas cascadas de los Estados Unidos localizadas en el curso del arroyo Burney, dentro del , en el condado de Shasta, California. El parque, establecido en 1926, protege un área de 370 ha. El agua proviene de manantiales subterráneos aguas arriba y en las cataratas, que tienen 34,75 m de altura, y proporcionan un caudal casi constante de 379 millones de litros por día, incluso durante los meses secos de verano. El arroyo Burney es un afluente del río Pit, que tiene su desembocadura en el embalse del al norte. Las cascadas son un ejemplo de drenaje fluvial regulado por manantiales controlados estratigráficamente, y también de una cascada formada por el corte de los estratos horizontales. El presidente Theodore Roosevelt llamó a las cascadas «la Octava maravilla del mundo» y fueron declaradas hito natural nacional (National Natural Landmark) en diciembre de 1954. (es)
