California State Parks is facing an unprecedented budget reduction forcing service reductions. Please click on the link at the bottom of this page for park specific information about how service reductions may affect your visit.

Overview
Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park straddles Highway 1, about 36 miles south of Carmel and some 10 miles south of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. We regret that there are currently few wheelchair accessible activities at this park; improvements to parking, walkways and restrooms are pending and the restrooms may not be useable for some people who use wheelchairs.

Trails
Overlook Trail: The wheelchair accessible Overlook Trail is approximately ½ mile long and leads from the parking lot to a bluff and overlook area where visitors can enjoy coastal views and the magnificent McWay Falls that tumbles onto the beach.
