About this spot

Getting there from Route 19 in West Virginia is straightforward—exit before Summersville and turn left. You'll drive across a large dam, then immediately turn right into a small park area. Head toward the back near the wooded section where marked trails lead to multiple jump locations. The lake water is exceptionally clear and deep blue throughout. Four primary jump points are available: a smaller option at 7-9 feet, a mid-range option at 14-16 feet, a taller option at 27-29 feet, and the highest at 32-35 feet. This location accommodates various skill levels and ages—beginners can use the lower platforms while those seeking more intensity can tackle the higher ones. The area also works well for swimming if you prefer not to jump. It's accessible and welcoming for families and groups of different experience levels.

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.
