About this spot

From Los Angeles, take Interstate 5 northbound to Highway 14 northbound. Exit at Pear Blossom Cutoff, then turn right toward Barrel Springs. Continue following the road until the pavement ends, then turn right onto Chessbro Road, which leads directly to Little Rock Dam. The location offers multiple jumping options and opportunities to climb trees before dropping into the lake. For the primary jump, position yourself in the parking area and look toward the dam—the jump is situated in the far left section. Access this jump by ascending the left side for a more convenient route.

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.
