Burney is located some 53 miles northeast of Redding, in Northern California. It is ideally located between Mount Shasta to the north and Mount Lassen (Lassen Volcanic National Park) to the south. Another 100 miles NE of Burney is Lava Beds National Monument, a fascinating place to visit, not only because of the hundreds of Lava Tubes to be explored, but because it is the site of the only Indian War to take place in California. Also, Whiskeytown National Recreation Area lies just a short distance west of Redding. And, not to forget, McArthur-Burney Falls State Park is located just 12 miles from Burney. According To Theodore Roosevelt, Burney Falls is one of the most beautiful falls in America! (See the picture to the right)
Burney sits at about 3200' elevation and is subject to some snow in the winter, which we are experiencing now, and supports a population of around 3200 friendly people. We feel we have really become a part of the community. It is a great place to live. More about Burney later...
