A pivotable downspout extension system includes an adapter coupleable to a fixed-position downspout via a downspout aperture, a bucket hingedly coupleable to the adapter, and an extension arm. The extension arm is received by an extension arm receiving portion located on the bucket. The bucket and the extension arm remain in a substantially vertical position until a sufficient amount of water enters the bucket so as to overcome the weight of a weight chamber of the bucket and move the bucket's center of gravity. The bucket with the extension arm then pivots on a fulcrum point, allowing the water to exit the extension arm. Once emptied, the weight chamber of the bucket pivots the bucket and extension arm to the substantially vertical position.
