Redstone Lake is located 2 hours and forty-five minutes north east of Toronto. It is approximately 25 minutes from Haliburton, Ontario.

Located in the middle of the lake is a fantastic cliff jumping location that is a favorite spot for locals. Boats must idle just off-shore from the cliffs or anchor in the shallower water around the corner of the bay. Aluminum boats can just tie off on a tree.

This spot is great for all age groups based on its wide variety of cliff heights ranging from 2 feet to probably 35-40 feet in the fall when the water is low.

The water is exceptionally deep and therefore there are few safety concerns.

I have been cliff jumping here since I was about twelve. The different height levels gives everyone a cliff that they can jump from and feel comfortable. However this summer a new owner of this land placed NO TRESPASSING signs on the cliffs and they removed the ladder from the face of the cliffs where you could climb up to the mid height rock. I understand the concerns of new land owners and their thoughts of liability issues, my cconcern stems from the approach that the owner takes to enforce his signs. We arrived and were greeeted by a man screaming and yelling obscenities about his land and how we weren't allowed on his land. We were in the water, not even on land yet. This guy should go to the Cottager's Association and speak his peace, I am sure something can be resolved, but 20 years of cliff jumping for the people on the lake won't stop because of a couple signs.

My family and friends have been jumping off rocks, bridges and swinging off rope swings for generations. We have a similar rock at our cottage on Lac Gagnon in the beautiful Gatineau hills. There is an ancient sign somewhere at the top of this cliff, but we have never been chased off in such a way. I hope that you can work this out.

I am researching a film about the great tradition of rock jumping. I hope to make contact with people who do this for fun, have an interesting perspective on this great hobby or are just interested.

If anyone out there has information on the location off favorite rocks, stories, or other information on the subject. I would appreciate your help.

Thanks.
Point.
