Shoshone Falls is among the most spectacular locations along the Snake River. At 212 feet, Shoshone Falls are actually higher than Niagara Falls. We shot this video on April 21, 2009 with the Falls running at approximately 17,000 cubic feet per second. This is a high water mark as the winter snow pack was close to 100% this year. Irrigation diversion of Snake River flows can significantly diminish water over the falls in the summer and fall, particularly during dry years. However, even without high water flows, the views at Shoshone Falls remain spectacular year-round. The City of Twin Falls owns and operates the Shoshone Falls/Dierkes Lake Complex. It offers a unique blend of recreational facilities, including playgrounds and hiking trails, landscaped picnic areas, a boat ramp and swimming area, and a scenic overlook. The complex provides restroom facilities and visitor information, and for a nominal per-car entry fee, visitors can enjoy picnicking and relaxing in the shaded, grassy areas, which provide perfect vantage points for viewing Shoshone Falls.
