About this spot
Scadin Falls (commonly spelled 'Scadin,' not 'Scandin') is a multi-tiered waterfall on US-64 about 5.8 miles west of Highlands, with a ~30-foot main drop plus upper cascades reachable from a small paved roadside pullout and a steep unmarked descent. Pin coordinates closely match the documented trailhead GPS. Sources describe it mainly as a scenic/photography stop with a cliff overlook of the lower section and rock-scrambling to see the upper tiers — no source found documents swimming or jumping here, and the terrain (steep drop, overlook-style viewing) doesn't clearly support it. Treat as unverified for swim/jump use pending a firsthand report.
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.
