About this spot
Locally called 76 Falls (Seventy Six Falls), this spot is actually in Clinton County near Albany, not near the Jamestown/Cumberland Parkway route often cited — it's reportedly about 7 lake miles by boat from Wolf Creek Marina, with maps available at area docks. The falls sit at an old mill site along Indian Creek; height varies with the dam-controlled lake's seasonal pool, reportedly around 38 feet at normal pool and higher when the lake runs full. Rocks near the top are reportedly slippery, and several memorial crosses mark past fatalities from jumping and climbing here. Cliff jumping is popular but hazardous and not an officially sanctioned activity — check current water levels and go with someone familiar with the site.
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.
