Crappy....the rock is about 50 or 60 ft. up. I might be off a little but it's pretty high. There are about 3 or 4 different levels of jumping "platforms". Most of the kids jump from the lower level which is probably 20 to 25 ft. There is no real platform to jump from you just have to wiggle your way to the edge and get your guts ready and jump. Some people dive from the top and I have on a time or two seen a flip. It is obvious when these people jump they know exactly what they are doing. Not that many get hurt jumping but I guess in reality if only one is seriously hurt that is too many. A few years ago a kid from up north jumped and landed wrong and he never resurfaced. Rescue divers found him a short time later in about 35 ft. of water. The water at the rock is probably 80 - 100 ft. deep. As far as shelf goes....there probably is a ledge or two that stick out but not anywhere near the surface. I have jumped many times (back in the day) and it is a real sight to sit up there and see all the jon boats down below. I say that because that is what they look like. Only bad thing about going up....pretty much only one way down. Almost impossible to climb back down. You should check it out one day. It is a huge part of what makes Lake Martin.....Lake Martin. The lower level is fun to jump from...just high enough.
