Overview

Shoshone Falls is a waterfall on the Snake River about 212 feet high, taller than Niagara Falls.

History

The falls have long drawn visitors. Upstream dams and irrigation now control the flow, so the falls are strongest in spring.

Today

The city park at the falls is busiest in spring, when snowmelt makes the falls most dramatic.
