There are several state parks in the area including McArthur - Burney Falls Memorial State Park which has a 129 ft high spring fed waterfall that flows into Lake Britton. Camping, boating and water recreation are popular activities at Lake Britton.

Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, located north of McArthur is unique in that it is accessible only by water. The waters which come together are Big Lake, Tule River, Ja-She Creek, Lava Creek and Fall River. Together they form one of the largest systems of fresh water springs in the country. The area is rugged and home to many species of wildlife year round.

The Pacific Crest Trail crosses many back roads in the area as it passes through Lassen Volcanic National Park, overseen by Lassen Peak (elev. 10,457'). North of the park the PCT follows the Hat Creek Rim toward Mt. Shasta (elev. 14,179'), which defines the north-state skyline.

Surrounded by mountains the Fall River Valley is home to friendly people, wildlife, wildflowers and wild rivers.  Fall River Valley Chamber of Commerce welcomes visitors to sample some of the unique opportunities for entertainment, recreation and relaxation in an area that showcases the best of Northern California.
