About this spot

A 20-foot cascade with a photogenic 10-foot slide and a sizable pool in between, located in DuPont State Recreational Forest and reached via an easy 1.25-mile hike from the Guion Farm access area. The pool is popular for casual summer swimming. Important: DuPont State Forest rules explicitly prohibit swimming, wading, or jumping/diving within 300 feet of any waterfall in the forest, so cliff jumping here is against forest regulations even though the pool sees casual swimmers; climbing on the rocks above the falls is also prohibited.

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.
