About this spot
This location sits on the New York portion of Lake Champlain, directly across from Basin Harbor Club near Ferrisburgh on the Vermont shore. Boat access is the most practical approach, though hiking trails exist to reach the site. The Basin Harbor Club offers kayak rentals and operates paid boat excursions to this spot. The primary cliff ranges between 80-90 feet in height, though seasonal water level fluctuations of approximately 10 feet occur throughout the year. Multiple jumping options are available, with entry points ranging from minimal heights up to the cliff's maximum. The water depth exceeds 60 feet with a vertical rock face, eliminating submerged obstructions or ledges as hazards.
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.
