About this spot

To reach this location from Route 3, take Goddeau Road to the right if traveling east or to the left if heading west. After half a mile, turn left onto Kent Falls Road. The road terminates at an old bridge in approximately half a mile, with ample parking available at the end. Alternatively, from Route 22B, turn onto Sand Road (left if going north, right if heading south). Continue for 1.9 miles until Sand Road becomes Rabideau Street. After 0.4 miles, turn right onto Goddeau Street, where Kent Falls Road will appear on your right in another 0.4 miles, just past the river crossing. Jumpers can use the bridge itself or explore trails on the right bank leading to the cliff formations. The cliffs extend roughly a quarter mile with heights between 5 and 45 feet, offering jumping opportunities at multiple points along the way. The area is also suitable for swimming. Across the street lies Cadyville Park, which offers mountain biking and disc golf facilities.

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.
