Cliff

The Cliff is a large cliff seen in two seasons of the series. It is the tallest point on both Camp Wawanakwa and the Abandoned Film Lot, at about one thousand feet high. Underneath it is Lake Wawanakwa.

Total Drama Island
The cliff appears in the opening sequence of the first two seasons, and in both opening sequences, the camera is seen zooming up the cliff, then zooming down into a body of water below. Once the lake view is shown, Owen is seen in the lake, and he farts on an aquatic animal.

In Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, the challenge is to jump off the cliff and into the lake. There are two zones in the lake marked by circle shaped rings; the larger circle represented the shark-infested waters, and the smaller circle represented the shark-free zone. Many contestants jumped off this cliff, while some were too afraid.

In The Big Sleep, when Owen is sleepwalking, he walks and falls off the cliff.

In Paintball Deer Hunter, Owen chases DJ up the cliff with his paintball gun, and after a long chase, corners him at the edge of the cliff. However, Owen runs out of paintballs, causing DJ to take this moment to his advantage and throw him off the cliff and into the water.

In Hook, Line, and Screamer, when DJ ran away screaming, he ran off of the cliff and fell into the water, though he didn't seem to care about this as he was still running away while in the water. Later, when Owen and Izzy were running away from the killer, they fell off a different cliff and landed onto many items as they were falling down, such as a goat, a cactus, TNT, a fire hydrant, and a fire pit.

In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, the Guys' Alliance is cornered by a bear at the edge of the cliff. They eventually slip, but Cody hangs on and almost pulls the team back up. However, a chunk of the rock breaks off, and the boys fall, but Courtney picks them up with her balloon. As she goes higher, she threatens to drop them if they don't give her the $1,000,000 case. Also, Bridgette knocks Geoff down and gives him a bump on his head when he hits a rock. Heather also ditches Harold with a hang-glider he made and jumps off the cliff; however, the hang glider breaks, and she falls.

Total Drama Action
Unlike the cliff at Camp Wawanakwa, the cliff seen in Total Drama Action appears to be man-made. It is shown in the opening sequences, where the camera goes up the mountain before landing in the water, similar to Total Drama Island.

In Riot On Set, Chris made the campers bring set supplies to the top off the cliff. The final item was a trailer, and the only two campers that were able to pull it were DJ and Owen (when he was tempted by food). DJ said he wouldn't do it because he was afraid the trailer would roll back down the cliff and hurt someone and Owen pulled it up due to food being at the top. The Grips won an advantage for the next part of the challenge (however, they lost the entire challenge altogether).

In Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen, Harold and Duncan had to climb the cliff while carrying a glass of water. When they were at the top, they had to put out the Kung Fu master's fire, and in return, they would get the bonsai tree, winning the challenge and the reward (which Harold won).

Total Drama: Revenge of the Island
In the Total Drama: Revenge of the Island Teletoon trailer, the cliff appears in the background as Chris was signing off.
