Description Dry Fork River, WV. People jump from the top of the hemlock tree on the left of the rock ledge, about 40 feet, into a deep hole formed by the current of the river against the rock. I have pics to prove it, too [link]

There is also an under-water cave entrance on the rock face.

This looks and sounds like the places I used to camp in Ontario! I thought I had to go home to find this again and now I'm thinking that maybe I can find somewhere in the U.S. that is just about as comfortable! Very nice Timmy.

Looks like jumping into glass! What a wonderful spot. I saw the pics of the jumper, looks like fun!

Oooo, I love the lush greens here! And the cool grey rocks all reflected makes for a very refreshing view - I want to go jump in and make a big cannonball splash

I would not even swim there because the water is just too cold being so deep

People do this in the rivers around here - and our water is melted snow Idiots in my book
