There are some in south-western PA but that's a little far. Move to Pittsburgh. Better location, hills, terrain parks.

There used to be some spots on the yellow breaches creek but they took all the dams out and now they are all gone. Well the ones I knew about at least. Other then that, Raystown lake has some pretty good spots.

a few rope swings along the yellow breaches. and I think you can jump off the top of this train bridge near 1415 Leidigh Drive, Boiling Springs, PA. Never done the bridge though.

You will probably have more luck in the PA regional forum since it wont get buried as fast.

Ehhh our regional forum is just about dead though I think. Atleast for our area. Where are the rope swings at if you dont mind me asking?

There is an insanely good place near Scranton, but that's probably a bit far for you. PM me if you want details.

Susquehanna river has a few bridge spots to jump... choose carefully though, some are pretty shallow.

I always wanted to run and jump off the end of the broken bridge into the susquehanna in lemoyne but I feel like it would be really easy to get arrestested there.

The regional isn't completely dead, at least it won't get buried there.
The one swing is a little bit down stream from messiah college. There is also one a little bit above messiah as well. There are a bunch of others but the water is to shallow, so I have no idea why people made them.

There is also a pretty cool rope swing and tree in Carlisle. And a cave, the tree has been slowly falling apart though. The rope swing was still solid last time I went

Aberdeen, not cliff jumping per se but there are a bunch of boulders and deep pools the stream flows around/through just upstream from the bridge on mill. we used to park right along the road there but anymore there are no parking and private property signs because some kid got hurt and his parents tried to sue the property owner. the dude is cool though and as long as you arent there at night time, dont leave any trash and take down any dams you build hes not going to care, or notice. park elsewhere and hike down from the conewago trail to get there.
If you are hardcore go find a deep quarry. If you are softcore theres always gretna
