There is one armored crossing on the trail that water flows over during rain events that might be challenging for some users. The trail is generally flat at less than 5% with intermittent sections between 5% to 12%. Trailhead and parking are at the Falls Overlook parking area. A restroom is located near the General Store.

The Burney Creek Trail is accessible for 1.31 miles. The trail starts at accessible parking spaces located at the Lake Britton Beach parking lot. This trail provides an accessible trail route form the beach parking lot to an overlook of Burney Falls. An accessible fishing landing and lake overlook are provided along the route. Accessible day use picnicking and restrooms are provided at the trailhead. Due to land movement, the trail may be closed without notice and is not accessible to all users until a new route can be determined and constructed.

The Pioneer Cemetery Trail is a hike and bike trail on firm but rocky, sometimes rutted soil that follows a historic wagon trail leading to an old cemetery. Its 1.6-mile round trip length may be usable in fair weather for strong wheelchair users and others seeking a relatively easy trail. Trailhead and limited parking are near campsite #75 in the Pioneer Campground.
