Cliff Jumping at Panther Bay in Mountain Home, Arkansas

About this spot

The description (from Mountain Home, east on Highway 62/412, then Highway 101 to Panther Bay Marina) matches an actual marina on Norfork Lake near Mountain Home, Arkansas, not Havana, Arkansas, where the submitted coordinates and city tag pointed, roughly 90 miles southwest with no matching marina there. Corrected coordinates place the pin at the real Panther Bay Marina entrance on Norfork Lake, confirmed by satellite imagery of docked boat slips. Reported jumps are about a mile south of the marina by water, near lake marker 5; we could not independently verify height or current access conditions. Treat this as a boat-access lake jump near active marina traffic, and confirm depth and marker location on the water first, since Corps of Engineers reservoir levels fluctuate seasonally.

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.
