Description

Added by grace kathryn

Cliff jumping at Black Rocks was a blast. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

The cliffs give you a beautiful view of the great Lake Superior, and stands only about 20 feet above the water. It is a big enough plunge to have some fun, but it isn't too far up, which is great for someone who is afraid of heights. You land in beautiful blue green water, which is chilly, but refreshing. Some basic swimming skills are required since the jump can take a slight toll on your body, but nothing to be worried about! Have fun!
