About this spot
Upper Falls is the two-tier, ~60-foot uppermost drop of the Purgatory Brook falls system on the Lyndeborough/Mont Vernon line, NH, reached via the Purgatory Brook Trail (historically a popular 19th/20th-century resort attraction). Pin matches the OSM-confirmed location exactly. Community swim/jump reputation on this trail centers on Lower Purgatory Falls, further downstream; Upper Falls itself is not specifically documented for swimming or jumping, and its height and rocky base make it a viewing rather than jumping spot.
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.
