CLOSED for cliff jumping. PEOPLE! It is now against the law to jump from the cliffs, climb on the rocks, bring in food/beverage, enter the newly-posted "closed area" or be on the Pewit's Nest property between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.. Violators are subject to a hefty $175.30 fine.
This place has been loved nearly to death over the past few years after being popularized through social media as a place to party and cliff jump into Skillet Creek. It was established as a nature preserve and was never meant to be what it has become: an overused, abused, eroded hangout. Several people have been injured from jumping from the cliffs, and that, along with the defacement of the property, prompted the State to close portions of the site to protect public safety and the site's natural features.
Visitors may still hike on the property to enjoy the scenery, but stay home if you intend to cliff jump.
