About Shoshone Falls

Shoshone Falls drops 212 feet on the Snake River, higher than Niagara Falls, and spans about 900 feet across. The City of Twin Falls runs the park, where the main viewing platform is 75 feet from the closest parking spot and the falls are ADA accessible. A canyon rim trail leads to more viewpoints. Spring snowmelt brings the fullest flows, summer irrigation diversions cut the flow, and in fall the falls can look nearly dry.
