About this spot

Located roughly 15 minutes north of Apache Junction, Arizona, Weaver's Needle sits at Canyon Lake. From US 60 East, turn onto Idaho Road and continue north until reaching a fork where Highway 88 begins. Follow Highway 88 north toward Canyon Lake, then proceed to Boulder Picnic Area. A hike through the canyon leads to the jump site. The area contains additional jumping spots in the vicinity, including formations known as No Fear and Mormon Rock.

Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
