I'm unaware of any, nor would I advise it in such a remote place. YMMV though. Best of luck in the search.

Depends on what you mean by a cliff. If you have a kayak or canoe, there are some 15' tall (?) rock ledges in the narrows section of Chippewa Harbor. I was too chicken, but my paddle buddy spent about an hour diving off these. He did backflips too.

that's about high enough for me.
we have spent time at Iona's beach and black rocks beach, I was wondering if there is something comparable.

thank you

Maybe not as high as black rocks, but still a good drop. Have fun.

If you had a boat, there’s a couple spots in the area of Caribou Island that are otherworld-ly. But not accessible from the main island.

There's a good spot with 10-12 ft rocks and deep water on Lake Richie. It is located right before the trail turns away from the lake toward West Chickenbone. It is also a great spot for catching a Northern Pike! :D

Too bad about the algae bloom, no fishing or swimming this year....
