About this spot
Public videos show cliff/canyon jumping at Water Wheel near Payson. Treat as area-level lead due flash-flood and depth variability.
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.
