About this spot
Head north from Los Angeles on Interstate 5, then continue on the 14 northbound. Take the Pear Blossom Cut Off exit and turn right onto Barrel Springs Road, following it until the pavement ends. Turn right on Chessbro Road, which leads directly to Lil Rock Dam. The location offers multiple jumping platforms alongside recreational swimming and kayaking opportunities. Trees around the perimeter provide additional jump-off points into the lake. To locate the primary jump, position yourself in the parking area and look across the dam toward the left rear section. Access this jump by climbing the left side of the approach.
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.
