About MBFIA

The McArthur Burney Falls Interpretive Association (MBFIA) is an all-volunteer non-profit education organization that provides assistance and funding for activities which enhance the quality of visits to Castle Crags State Park, McArthur Burney Falls Memorial State Park and Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park.  The association was founded in 1984 to promote greater appreciation of the cultural and natural history of the area. 

MBFIA raises funds to support educational and interpretive activities at the parks, including interpretive personnel and a printed Visitor Guide provided free to visitors.  MBFIA manages the Visitor Center Funds are raised through the sale of firewood, recycling, advertising in the Visitor Guides, the operation of the Visitor Center gift shop, and most importantly---donations from friends and visitors like you.
