Blue River Reservoir cliffs

Confirmed by 0 jumpers
A narrow Corps reservoir on the Blue River above the McKenzie, with rock along the shoreline that jumpers report at around 20 feet. It is twenty minutes from Tamolitch Blue Pool and a lot less crowded, in country that burned in the 2020 Holiday Farm Fire and is still growing back.

Warnings
The 20-foot figure is reported by jumpers, not measured, and this is a drawdown reservoir — the water under a jump in July may not be there in September, so check every visit. Fire-killed trees still come down in wind along this road.
Access
Blue River Reservoir Road off Highway 126 at Blue River, Willamette National Forest. Boat ramps at Saddle Dam and Lookout; the shoreline rock is reached from the road around the reservoir. The pin is approximate.
Best conditions
July and August, while the reservoir is full. It is drawn down hard in September.
