About this spot

Red Rock is an unofficial swimming and jumping spot on Brodhead Creek near Analomink, a few miles from East Stroudsburg in Monroe County. A roughly 60-foot railroad bridge crosses the creek above a rocky pool, and jumpers also use lower ledges in the 12-30 foot range. Water beneath the bridge runs 10-20 feet deep and is clear enough to see the rocky bottom, which looks alarming from above but has been reported safe once scouted. A rope swing is sometimes present. There are no restrooms, lifeguards, or official parking, and the active railroad tracks and bridge carry real trespassing and safety risk. Depth and rope-swing condition change with season and rainfall — verify both before jumping.

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.
