About this spot
Exit 75 off I-95 near Niantic and head north on Route 1. Continue approximately half a mile, then turn right onto Calkins Road, which is easy to miss due to the brick wall lining the street. Drive to the road's end where a woodland path begins ahead. You can park along the roadside and walk, or drive a four-wheel-drive vehicle down the trail. The path opens onto a circular clearing with beach access. Take the smaller trail branching right and follow the riverbank for about five minutes to reach Indian Rock. The location attracts attention from passing boat traffic on the river. Water depth varies with tidal changes, requiring caution before jumping.
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.
