i have no idea. i really would like to find a bridge somewhere. something like 15 feet. nothing too high but high enough to do like double flips pretty easily.

quarry park in st. cloud is a very good choice if your looking for something close.
well it's in waite park, but close enough. probably 45-1hr from the cities. really really really really fun! good water and cliffs anywhere from 5-50(if you're willing to sack up and jump over some boulders and shit.). the main cliff is perfect though, about 30 ft, just enough for solid doubles.

one of my favorite swimming places in the summer.

if you live in anoka, check out the train bridge by the fair grounds. it's probably 30 ft and also extreemly fun. sometimes there's a rope swing as well under it.

or drive up to the iron range..... or duluth

This is the best you are going to get in the madison area.... it's in the dells area.   But now after all this flooding and Lake Delton going bye bye, this spot is probably no longer with us for awhile... RIP.  That is me right before I jumped.  It's like 35-40 I think.

in cannon falls we have lake byllesby...there is a really good sized cliff there but its actually really high and sometimes hurts when you hit the water...and in randolph there is a bridge thats probably a 15 - 20ft drop to the river...thats where everyone goes.

I have a real nice cliff drop next to my house and a rope swing that you can get 15 ft above the creek. Temperence river up on the north shore has some fun cliffs.

Nothing actually... haha.  That picture was snapped right before I jumped off of that cliff for the first time, which just so happened to be the first cliff I ever jumped off of that was bigger than 8 feet.  But I am hoping to do some flips and other stuff off of it this summer.
