This is a spectacular waterfall that is made all the better by being very easy to view. It is viewable from the top right out of the parking lot and the hike to the bottom is relatively easy.
What I found the most spectacular the first time I saw the falls was not the water coming over the top of the falls but all the water coming out of the cliff itself. The rock in this area is very porous, and there is an underground river that runs right under the above ground one. So, when the above ground river hits the cliff, so does the underground river, and water pours out of the rock itself in a 120 degree panarama. Really beautiful.
There is a small snack bar and gift shop at the top and a campground and marina on Lake Britton, a pretty lake just downstream of the falls. Beware in the summer time, the campground is full a lot and reservations are highly recommmended.

the toughest part of the trip for me is the twelve hour drive but it is all worth it when you arive and get out of your car and walk to the falls viewing platform and drink in the majestic beauty of it all. I have been going to burney falls every year since i was 1 and there in nothingi remeber mor than the trips and i cant wait till august when we go again.
