Cool Bridge/Cliff Jumping Spots

Hey everyone, recently Ive been really into cliff jumping, and so far I only know one spot (maybe 50 ft high). I was just wondering if anyone knows, or could help me find some new spots. Summer is coming to an end and I really want to make the most of it.

Thanks a million.


Anything like this:

New River Gorge in West Virginia, they close the bridge once a year and let crazy people jump off it.

I have been tempted to hurl myself off of the Clememte Bridge on several occasions after watching the Pirates lose.

I gave up my season tickets two years ago. The cost of the tickets weren't all that high, but when you gotta drink at least 10 beers to watch that team...

Go to Raystown lake a little east and bum a ride on a boat or make friends with someone who has a boat out there. Lots of cliffs up to 80'-90' or more to jump off of out there.

I do. And I found exactly what you did. But that was all about base jumping so i figured I was on the wrong site.

When I was in high-school (about 10 years ago) we used to go cliff-jumping fairly frequently at Loyalhanna Lake. The spot was right next to the camping area, I've plotted it on Google Maps so you can find it.

Another spot that I've always seen people jumping at is on Route 30 just outside of Latrobe. People would frequently jump off the bridge into the creek below, as well as off the rocks a bit lower down. I've plotted that spot on Google Maps as well.

Not sure if these are close to you, but hopefully they bring you as much fun as they brought me!
