About this spot
The pier at Holland State Park, by the 'Big Red' lighthouse on Lake Michigan, is a classic Michigan pier-jumping rite of passage. Cold water, rip currents, and officially discouraged with safety gates. Reported, unconfirmed.
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.
