Travel Directions:
Access to this site is no longer possible due to road closure. To reach the general area: From Hwy 1 (Trans-Canada Hwy), take Seebe Exit 114A, pass the “Leaving Bow Valley Provincial Park” sign, cross the bridge, and take an immediate right (hairpin) turn, cross the one-lane bridge and go as far as the security gate.

[Alternately, from Buffalo Paddock, turn left (west) onto 1A, proceed 8.8 km, turn left (south) onto 1X, go 2.1 km, turn left at the “Seebe” sign, cross the one-lane bridge, and proceed as above.]

Remarks:
You did not expect a place where Jake Gyllenhaal (a double) and Heath Ledger (the real thing) frolicked in the nude to be readily accessible did you? Be certain to obtain appropriate permission before visiting this site.

If you crave the diving / whitewater experience, one established local rafting and cliff diving guide is Chinook River Sports, (866) 330-7238. See:

This site is guarded, though not on a full-time basis. The guard generally stays at Gate 1. If a guard is helpful to you, a gratuity may be in order. The (very real) memorial cross at this site reminds visitors that this is an extremely hazardous place. The danger of a concussion when diving varies with the level of the water, which is controlled by the operation of the adjacent hydro power plant. Equally dangerous is the fierce undertow created by the hydro turbines which can start and stop without notice. Let it be!

Important:
Always obtain appropriate permission before entering private property. Under no circumstances should one attempt to dive from the cliff or swim at this site.
