Conditions and planning notes
A 100 ft reservoir jump requires expert depth, clearance, wind, and exit checks.
Confirm Glen Canyon access, navigation, lake level, and whether the canyon is open before visiting.
Scout by boat with spotters and avoid committing to high sandstone ledges without verified conditions.
Extreme height, fluctuating lake level, remote canyon setting, boat wake, and wind are the main concerns.
Remote sandstone cliffs can be loose, hot, and difficult to climb down from.
Scout with a partner, avoid jumping alone, and leave if extreme height, fluctuating lake level, remote canyon setting, boat wake, and wind are the main concerns.

Lake Powell sits around Lake Powell, Utah, United States, putting this lake or reservoir spot in the orbit of Lake Powell and the broader Utah 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.
In northern or mountain climates, spring runoff and cold water can be as important as ledge height. 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.
