Conditions and planning notes
River depth and current vary by season. Check from the water and identify the downstream exit first.
Confirm that stopping and water access are legal before entering; do not block the bridge or shoulder.
Bridge approaches can be narrow and exposed to traffic, with steep or brushy routes to the water.
Traffic, bridge structure, current, submerged debris, and awkward exits are the practical risks.
Little Squirrely means the stance is likely awkward; avoid rushed jumps from bridge hardware or cramped edges.

Barendse Rd Bridge sits around West Linn, OR, United States, putting this structure-adjacent water spot in the orbit of West Linn and the broader OR 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.
