About Burney

Burney is a quiet mountain town of around 2,700 people nestled in the pine-covered foothills of northeastern California's Shasta County. Life here moves at a relaxed, unhurried pace, with stunning mountain views, crisp alpine air, and easy access to world-class trout fishing along Burney Creek and Hat Creek. Just a few miles north sits McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, famous for its magnificent 129-foot waterfall. It is the kind of close-knit community where neighbors know each other and outdoor recreation starts right outside your front door.

For everyday living, Main Street provides the essentials, including grocery stores, hardware shops, diners, and a local library branch, along with Burney Elementary and Burney Junior-Senior High School. The town acts as a central hub for the surrounding ranches and timberland, so day-to-day needs are easy to manage locally. Whenever you need major medical facilities, big-box retailers, or airport access, the city of Redding is about an hour's drive west down Highway 299.
