Conditions and planning notes
No depth or landing clearance should be assumed without an on-site check.
Verify the Cherry Valley site, public access, and current water conditions before relying on any route notes.
Scout the exact area in daylight and avoid following directions that point to another part of California.
Unclear exact context, possible dry conditions, restricted access, and unknown depth are the main concerns.
Unknown takeoffs may be loose, dry-season exposed, or unsuitable for jumping.
Scout with a partner, avoid jumping alone, and leave if unclear exact context, possible dry conditions, restricted access, and unknown depth are the main concerns.

Highlands Springs sits around Cherry Valley, CA, United States, putting this lake or reservoir spot in the orbit of Cherry Valley and the broader CA area of United States. Use the saved coordinates and current map view as a starting point, then confirm the exact approach locally because cliff-jumping access can change around parks, private land, roads, shorelines, and water-management areas.
Seasonal conditions matter here, especially after storms, drought, high flow, or unusually low water. Conditions are not static: rain, snowmelt, drought, changing water levels, current, and weekend crowding can all change what looks like the same jump from one visit to the next. Treat saved route notes as background, not as a present-day clearance to jump.
The main assumed risks include cold or changing lake levels, submerged shelves, boat traffic, difficult exits, and limited rescue access. Even when the location appears open, access is separate from safety; a reachable ledge is not proof that jumping is allowed or sensible. Before anyone climbs to a ledge, inspect the landing zone from the water, identify the exit, look for submerged rocks or debris, and be willing to walk away if the depth, footing, legality, or rescue options are uncertain.
