Hamburg Hole: Legendary

Hamburg Hole.  I’m not even sure where to start with this one. Because THIS PLACE IS ILLMATIC. The cliff jumping is GNARLY.  The height is HERCULAIN.  And to top it all off the water is actually deep enough to make the jump. So now that that is out of the way..

Hamburg Hole is a criminally underutilized cliff jump located right in between Potsville and Potststown, and let me just say, this one is not for the faint of heart.  The claim to fame here is cliff jumping quality that is difficult to find anywhere else. Period.  I have only ever been to one place that could stand toe to toe with Hamburg hole in terms of ludicrousness and that was all the way in New Hampshire and required you to sign a waver.  The highest cliff face at Hamburg hole is at least 45ft tall and takes balls the size of watermelons to jump off of.  I am quite serious. I’ve done some stupid things in my days, and let me tell you,  the highest peak here is scary.  I probably could have written this entire blog post in the amount of time it takes to fall from the top of Hamburg to the time you land in the lake below. If you are looking for a serious thrill then Hamburg hole is for you.  Plain and simple.  Don’t be afraid to bring some less serious friends though, because there is also a smaller jump off point that is under 20 ft, just incredibly lame in comparison.
