Pictured rocks, near Munising, has a few jumble cliffs, altho most are over 150 feet and would be suicide, the jumpable drops are huge in the 60-70 foot range, and are limited to a few spots. The return hike to the top is also pretty long from what i have heard.

Black rocks near downtown marquette is a shorter hike back to the top and the drops are much more manageable btwn 10-30 feet. I believe these cliffs are just north of marquette in a city park?

There are literally thousands of jumpable cliffs along the Superior shoreline, and many more along inland lakes, just look at a map for some rocky topography near lakes and streams and go find some!

Munising/Marquette area is great!.. only thing to be careful of with the pictured rocks is that they're all sandstone, which means that there's a chance that they crumble under too much weight. I was in Munising a week ago and heard stories from this summer of people falling. Don't mean to scare you off, just a heads up.

Also if you wanted to combine the camping and cliff diving, Grand Island is just off the shore of lake superior in Munising. There are lots of camp sites and also some places for cliff diving.

Hope you find time to make a trip!.. Its a great time!
