The old Wawbeek in Melvin Village used to have a wonderful high-dive tower at the end of the dock. I can still remember my first jump, first dive, and the time I coaxed my six year old brother to jump off. Today, it seems, everyone is getting rid of diving boards and towers (not just at the Lake) because of liability issues. There's a great jump (nothing like Frye's) just upstream from Franconia Falls in the Whites. Came across it at the end of a backpacking trip, and it was a blast.
