okay.. might take some looking into but without me actually google mapping them for you i can tell you this

.36 - dead river falls, you can map it to a parking lot, then you hike up by a dam and into the woods. there are 3 different falls to jump. then one here is hidden falls, which is between 35-40 ft

1:02 - black rocks. ask anyone in marquette. its a huuge tourist area. you take lakeshore towards the oredock by campus and you take a road that goes through the woods and you end at a parking lot. short walk to the rocks. you can basically see them from the parking lot

1:30 - the same place as .36, just straight across from where you jump. its not very high, maybe 20 ft but when you run and jump you clear a good distance

1:40 - same exact stop as the one right above ^

its probably really hard to find these places unless you go with someone who is either from the area or has been to one or all of them before. are you going to school up there or just vaca?

picture rocks has a lot of places but not all have access back to the top. Most of the easy ones are around the beaches:
Both ends of Chapel Beach, west side is bigger and you need to hit the hole because of all the rocks in the water (killer beach too)
Between minors castle and the beach is a smallish place (10-15'), but easy access.

I will tell you that cliff diving at Pictured Rocks is completely illegal. If you get caught, there is a good possibility of five years in jail and up to a $5000 fine. Go for it if you don't care though.
