About this spot

Approach via route 17 into Bristol, VT near New Haven and Starksboro. From the west, continue east on route 17 for roughly 2 miles past two bridges, then turn right onto Lincoln Road. From the east, take route 17 or 116 toward Bristol; where these routes converge, proceed approximately 2 miles before turning left onto Lincoln Road. Either way, follow Lincoln Road for about half a mile—the location is on your right. Street parking is available near the site, and a visible trail leads directly down from the road to the falls. Jump heights span from approximately 5 feet to just under 20 feet. The riverbed consists of soft material, and jumpers from the higher cliffs typically reach bottom. Direct jumps into the waterfall itself carry risk due to rocks positioned beneath it and are not advised. Coordinates: 44° 7'37.89"N 73° 2'48.02"W

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.
