Scott established Central Oregon Bungee Adventures in 2015 and Oregonians have been experiencing the thrill of jumping off the tallest bungee platform in America ever since then. The platform sits 300 feet above the Crooked River, and bungee jumpers get the thrill of diving 250 feet in the wild and beautiful Ogden State park.

A jump typically takes between 10 and 15 minutes from the time you get harnessed up to the time you're back on solid ground, and you can go for multiple jumps if you want. The jumping season typically runs from May through October if weather is good.
