Access

Confirm lawful access and do not enter fenced, posted, or active quarry property.

Hazards

Trespass risk, submerged debris, steep walls, cold water, and difficult rescue access are the main concerns.

What to know about Cliff jumping at Old Quarry.

Old Quarry sits around Lorton, VA, United States, putting this quarry-water spot in the orbit of Lorton and the broader VA 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. Access should be treated as conditional until signs, land ownership, permits, and local rules are confirmed. 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.
