About this spot
From Boone, NC, head toward Linville on Highway 105. Continue for approximately 5 miles until you encounter a traffic light, then proceed another couple miles. On your left, you'll spot a caboose situated in a gravel lot. The dam location is to the right of the caboose, accessible via a brief but steep downhill path.
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.
