Question: McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park is home to a 129-foot waterfall fed by underground springs that pump out 100 million gallons a day. Which U.S. president famously called it the “Eighth Wonder of the World”?

Answer: Theodore Roosevelt. The falls have long been a sacred site for the Pit River Tribe, and the surrounding park was donated to California in the 1920s by descendants of the McArthur family to help protect the area from development.
