Burney Falls is a complex falls which have migrated upstream by undercutting the sediment beneath a thick lava flow. Burney Creek is fed by springs a short distance upstream from the falls resulting be stable stream flows over the falls year round. The primary part of the waterfall are two channels of the creek which plunge 129 feet into a large pool. The falls appear much wider because from the base the lava spring issue spilling water over a wide area just behind the primary falls.
