Here, immerse yourself in ancient volcanic geological history as your interpretive guide transports you back over 15,000 years to when Lake Bonneville overflowed its rim, some 300 miles away, dramatically reshaping Idaho’s landscape and creating this awe-inspiring natural wonder, ranked among the top three waterfalls in the United States.

Stroll down to the main viewing platform for an intimate experience and stunning views just yards from the top of the cascading falls. This renowned waterfall stands 212 feet tall and stretches 950 feet across the Snake River Canyon.

The Shoshone Falls Power Plant is located on the Snake River near Twin Falls, Idaho, at river mile 614.7. The plant features a diversion dam and a powerhouse.
