The Allen Telescope Array at the Hat Creek Observatory is a 42 dish radio telescope that can act as a snapshot camera, rapidly surveying large swathes of the sky. It operates over multiple frequency bands concurrently and can operate as a single large dish (by pointing all dishes in the same direction) or as 42 independent dishes (looking in different areas of the sky simultaneously).

Crystal Lake Hatchery is located near the town of Burney in eastern Shasta County. Baum and Crystal Lakes are adjacent and offer exceptional fishing. Picnic tables are available and wildlife abounds in this area.

The sculptures were made by Richard and Will Hathaway over a period of many years.  The  composition of the sculptures is varied, reflecting the construction background of the owners. Some of the more interesting sculptures you'll find at this roadside exhibit are a dinosaur that measures nearly 40 feet tall, a giant ant, and a man made from the local lava rocks.

Spattercone Trail. This 1.5 mile loop trail will take you to the origin of the recent Hat Creek Lava Flow, an area with many spattercones and associated volcanic features.

The "Stand By Me" Bridge which was utilized in the 1986 film Stand by Me, directed by Rob Reiner, is located off of Dusty Campground entrance near Burney Falls State Park. The bridge is planned to be integrated into the Great Shasta Rail Trail.  

In the film, the Lake Britton Bridge was used to capture the memorable scene where the four adolescent teens, best friends, escape death from an oncoming train, forming lifelong friendships.    

The bridge is approximately 7.5 miles north of Burney, CA. From the town of Burney, take Hwy 299 to Hwy 89, then 7.5 miles north on Hwy 89 to Lake Britton, then after going over a bridge, over the river, you will pass under a small train bridge, on the right-hand side you will see a gravel road.  Turn right onto that gravel road (Eagle Mountain Lane) to the bridge, that will be on your right.  The gravel road is also an entrance to the Dusty Campground Site. 

The bridge is now barricaded and you won't be able to walk on or across the bridge but you can still take great pictures and enjoy the beautiful scenic views.
