Great Falls has good cliff diving..used to go there with friends back in high school. There's a parking lot right off Gerogetown Pike, walk the trail and you'll see some good spots.

We used to go out to West Virginia and go to the old quarries. In Bakerton, there's one with a 70' drop, but the owners used to be pretty dilligent about calling the cops on trespassers.

Evidently, the roof of Fox Mill Elementary School has become a bit of a HOTspot of late. Just make sure you grab an electrical cable on your way down or else the impact with the ground will kill you...

I'm too IT illiterate to post an image.
It's right off of 123 before you hit the bridge at Occoquan on the right side of the road. We used to pull off on the road ride before the bridge and just park there but that was ten years and I'm sure security is a lot stricter these days so good luck. It's def trespassing.

U can park in the city it self and walk across the bridge once u do there is a place were the fence is bent over and doesn't have barbed wire you climb over that and go up the hill the quary is stunning BUT things to know are you are breaking the law and were ever you jump check the water and how deep it is before you jump. Don't do it at night and there are security that works there so it's not like the great Falls where u can chill around

American Legion Bridge. Park at Carderock and hike the Billy Goat Trail until you reach the bridge. Climb on up and dive into the Potomac. You're welcome!
