Twin Falls Waterfall & Dam

Twin Falls Waterfall & Dam

​Located just two miles east of Shoshone Falls and set in an open canyon on the Snake River, you'll want to include this "less visited" attraction on your quest for Idaho's beautiful waterfalls.  Owned and operated by Idaho Power, there is no fee to experience this point of interest.  Travel down the windy, paved road to the observation deck built alongside the south side of the Snake River Canyon.  Though a single waterfall remains of the two "twin falls", at over 125 feet high this stunning work of nature flows atop two hydroelectric power plants below.

If dam engineering is a favorite topic for you, interpretive boards located on the viewing platform walkway describes the construction and electrical output of the two power plants built in 1935 and 1995.
