About this spot
This jumping spot is located south of Las Vegas. From the city, head south on Highway 95 until reaching the Nelson exit at 165, then continue to the small town of Nelson. At this point, you have two options: continue on the paved road to reach cliffs ranging from 5 to 52 feet, or turn onto a dirt road to access the larger formations. Follow the dirt road to its end, avoiding any side routes along the way. The drive takes approximately 20 minutes, and the road features soft sand that can trap vehicles, so drive cautiously. Once you reach the water, walk or use a small boat to travel left past two coves. A small green numbered water tower marks the correct direction. The larger jumps are impossible to miss once you've passed this landmark.
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.
