What travellers are saying
- Violette54Payson, AZ4,208 contributionsShoshone Falls is located about 3 miles east of Twin Falls. From the Perrine Bridge through Twin Falls, the distance is about 7 miles, east on Champlin Rd, to the Shoshone Falls Grade. This is a Fee day-use area; no camping is allowed. The park hours are from dawn to dusk, year round.
The $5 Fee per car is accepted in cash only and is paid to the attendant near the 'Welcome to Shoshone Falls' sign. The National Parks Pass does not work since Shoshone Falls Park is not a National Park. The fee is collected from March 1 to September 30. The high water time is usually June, depending on the river level. Idaho Power controls the water flow, and the hydropower is used for farmland irrigation.
The Shoshone Falls Grade is the road down to the falls running through lava fields. It's narrow, features several tight curves, and could use some maintenance. It is paved, but there are no pullouts. Near the pond there is a tight U-shaped curve that offers a quick peek of the falls from a distance.
The road ends in the parking lot. There are 5 pull-through RV places. It is wheelchair accessible and has designated WC parking. To the side of the lot is a small gift shop building, with basic, but clean and supplied, restrooms in the rear. Hiking trails branch out from the parking lot.
The park is a beautiful green space with shade trees, picnic tables with BBQ grills, grassy places to relax with your children and leashed dog. There is no playground. Swimming is not recommended and you climb on the rocks at your own risk.
It is a short paved walk to the falls overlook. There are stairs down to the overhanging view point, which is a great place for photos.
The falls are 212 feet high and 925 feet wide; 45 feet higher than Niagara Falls, which is how they got the name, the 'Niagara of the West'.
Approximately one mile west of the falls, one can see the remains of the ramp built by Evel Knievel's team for his failed motorcycle jump in 1974.Written 23 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The turn off to this park is on the right side before you get to the falls and is very well marked. We went June 29th.
The day we were at the lake, it looked like the Caribbean. We could see fish swimming in the water. It was beautiful. We only stopped because we paid to see Shoshone Falls and thought we would check this out.
You could spend all day here. Very large parking lot, snack shack, restrooms, small beach, diving board, dock, and picnic areas that are shaded.
We did see people jumping off the rock “cliffs” that were not super high in the air. You can also rent kayaks there. Super cute park. We just didn’t have swim suits with us.
It’s was around 12 when we arrived on a Thursday, and it was not super busy, but I imagine on the weekends it could be.
Great family place, bring your life jackets!Written 8 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We rented kayaks from AWOL and it took us an hour to paddle there, but we are fairly experienced kayakers. We had a glorious picnic on the falls, hiked around a bit, and swam in the river. The river is easy to kayak and the views are like none other. I am always blown away by the rock formations!Written 20 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tony KMoreno Valley, CA738 contributionsWe actually stayed in the RV Park part of this Park. Really nice flowing creek runs through Park and grounds and whole park are very nice.

- ITravelAr0undNorman, OK171 contributionsDriving to find food and decided to go a tad off the path. What an amazing little city tucked into the mountains.
If you are a golfer- the course in the Snake River gorge was incredible!
Wish we had a little more time to look around. We will be back.Written 6 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
