Well, I'm afraid you just have to search. :\ I haven't found any that kind of entrances, since I haven't lifted any manhole cover. (I've used couple of outlets.)
I don't know any good techniques since I haven't tried any. Read "How to locate a drain" from here:
http://www.uer.ca/...id=1&threadid=4549

Good luck. Or if you're really extreme you could try to chimney (or whatever the word is) your way down into the drain. But I don't recommend it!

Start at the manhole, and walk downhill. Keep on walking until you reach a creek or river. If it's a storm drain manhole, there will be an entrance somewhere along the river.

That abyss in your garden sounds too interesting to pass up. Maybe you could invest in something like this; http://www.upandun...&Description_ID=52

Oh, and you could always chuck a glow stick in there to see how deep it is.

okay i looked down the manhole again during the daytime, its not THAT deep ha, but its just a hole straight down and at the bottom theres like a small concrete river with water flowing through it. There's a creek near my house, maybe ill check it out for an entrance. thanks for the help.
oh yeah the manhole says 'sewer'. i dont know if that has anything to do with it...

Well, it's probably a storm sewer... how much water is flowing through it? Can you tell how big the pipe at the bottom is?

Oh how I wish there was a manhole in my yard.

But I'll settle for the one in the yard across the street.

Do you have any absailing gear? Cause you could lower yourself down into it and have a look. And if its big enough to go exploring in then find a better way in and out of it.

Or as was mentioned a rope ladder or wire ladder is always another good way to go about it.
