I know of one smaller spot on the way up too evergreen from Denver, But does anyone know of any spots to do some 10+ jumping into a river or lake in Colorado or really any surrounding states?

Thanks, Much love

Green Mountain Reservoir north of Silverthorne has some large ones

Seaman Reservoir up the Poudre Canyon (yes, you read that correctly) has some nice 10-20 footers.

There's also a bunch of rope swings along the river in Fort Collins. Some are pretty sketchy but others are pretty damn fun.

I've asked a similar question in years past as I'm constantly dreaming of building a legit rope swing. Sick of these little piddle rope swings that get you at max 10 feet in the air before dropping you in a shallow river.

Anyone have thoughts on the following locations before I scope them:

Lake just NW of Central City
Button Rock Resevoir

Blue Lake is huge. Cold water, definitely worth a wet suit.

Horrible filming, but you get the idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsBvxppr2nw

Dang, went up there last month and found a fun rope swing, but def not 40, I'll have to go back up there and look again. Pretty thorough construction on the one we did, big log, jammed horizontally between two trees way up in the air.
