    Cliff Jumping near tahoe

    I'm sure a bunch of you guys get down with cliff drops into water in the offseason.. I mean shit we all do it into the same stuff but frozen during the winter!

    So where's some decent spots on Lake Tahoe? Preferably close to Tahoe City/north shore, as I'm up here at the cabin for the week. I was in Reno and hit a few places on the Truckee River (Farad; bridge and bush gap cliff, Verdi) and they were cool. Trying to find some around here though.

    Looking for at least 25-30 footers up to 60+ I guess. Emerald pools is too far.

    Check out Angora Lake down near Fallen Leaf Lake. The far end has cliffs for kids and as high as you'd like to go.

    Beautiful area too!

    The Upper Angora cliff on the back side of the lake approaches 60'. Did it when I was about 18. Landed a little sideways and the concussion from the impact messed my ear up good. Couldn't hear for 3 days. There are lots of different height cliffs there.

    Empty Beer pegged it. Look up Mike Wilson on Youtube and you'll get plenty of ideas.
