Anyone who is thinking about jumping shouldn't. My best friend jumped off June 13th and shattered his T12 vertebra. After a long long surgery, we aren't sure if he'll ever be able to walk again.
@c15h , Yea, I wouldn't recommend it either. I grew up on Lake Martin and have done it several times, the risk and hurt isn't worth it. It's fun to do, but very dangerous. I usually just jump off the mid rock anyways. I was there the last time someone died on the top rock. Some kid tried to do a somersault off it and smacked his head lower on the rock. They've got a plaque lower on the mid rock in his memory. Hopefully people see it and think twice before doing it.
@mikesmith29510 Alabama.. There really isn't an exact location. It in all different cities. I live in Montgomery and its about 30 minutes away. Hope this helped! Its really fun, I'm only 10 and I jumped off not the highest but the medium ones:DD Medium is pretty high!:DD
It was me that jumped, i wont do it again. The water was waaay down that year as well, i could see rocks below the surface, they only stuck out about 5-10 feet though. There are alot of Injury/death stories online from there.
Ive never jumped from the top but i have jumped from the middle rock about 40 feet up so many times i cant even count them.. never heard of anyone getting hurt from there and its really fun... its a happy median lol
lol he looks like me when i got to the top, it doesnt look like shit until you get up there and then ur like "oh damn" ill never do it again too many ppl have gotten hurt and i've heard of ppl dying which i guess is true. either way yeah u can see the bottom in winter bc they dam up the whole lake and scrubspimp is right its actually acapulco rock didnt kno that til i read it in lake martin magazine one drunken night.
@chieuhoi88 Yea, technically this one is Alcapuca rock. From where these guys are facing, the real Chimney rock is to their left, on the next island over. Pretty easy to spot because the rock has a formation on top that looks kinda like a chimney, hence the name. It's impossible to jump off of though because it's further back from the edge of the shore.
There are alot of dangers just below the water..Broken glass and tree limbs..The Outlook did a story on it a while back...Most people don't think about what is lying underneath the water that could possibly harm them. They are more concerned about not getting their neck broke in the jump.
If you went by there when the water was down, some recently, you would see not very far down below there are rocks.. where you boat is isn't near where people actually jump, because ours says the same thing too. and why don't you try telling that to the kid that broke his neck... i think he died from jumping off the rock.
its more than 100 feet deep in front of chimney rock. there is no way in hell you could hit the bottom its just not possible. you may hit glass if a beer bottle floats in front of you but you are sure as hell not going to hit the bottom.
actually if you have been up there in the winter, you will see that not far below the water surface is tons of rocks.. and explain how people have HIT ROCKS UNDERNEATH THE WATER and broken there backs, or some have even died! explain that if it is 100 feet deep?
Love the jump. Lake Martin/ AC is my hometown. I like to wear a ski vest when I go off in case I need help rising up, or do a belly or back buster. The lake needs some good rope swings.

why is everyone worrying about the depth? its the way you hit the water thats the thing to worry about, hit it wrong and you end up with broken bones

So you are telling me that it is impossible for someone to injure themselves on the debris in the water at chimney rock?
