About this spot
This location offers three distinct jump options ranging from 12 feet up to 35 feet in height, with a mid-level jump at 25 feet. The water consists of runoff from municipal sources, which affects clarity, though regular swimmers have not reported significant health issues. To reach the site from northbound Highway 101, exit at Ventu Park Road in Thousand Oaks and turn right. The entrance is Ventu Park itself, just a short distance away. Leave your vehicle in the main lot and hike along the fire road that departs from the rear of the parking area. Continue along this trail until you reach the cliff formations—the jumps become evident upon arrival.
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.
