About this spot

Starting from Arlington WA, head north on I-5 to Highway 20. Continue west on Highway 20 toward Anacortes. At the first intersection, turn left, then at the next T-intersection, turn left again. Follow the winding road past a cemetery until you reach the end, where a small sign directs you to turn left for Whistle Lake. Take that turn and continue as the pavement becomes gravel. You'll likely find multiple vehicles already parked in the lot. From there, it's roughly a one mile trek to reach the jumping location.

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.
