About this spot
From Ogden, UT, head east on 12th Street toward the canyon. Continue following the road as it winds around the lake until you spot the Monte Cristo sign, then turn right heading east. You'll pass Red Rock Cafe, identifiable by its vintage Coke advertisement. Turn right again and proceed until the dam comes into view. Cross the dam to reach the jumping area. You can either hike around to access the cliffs or swim across, which is a manageable crossing. The jumps range from 1 to over 100 feet depending on your skill level and comfort with height.
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.
