The falls has a neat little park, lake & of course the falls & gorge area. The most iconic scene in Twin Falls. The area surrounding is beautiful & the people met seemed genuinely friendly & helpful.

So peaceful and beautiful! There wasn't a large crowd when I went (not sure if it's normally crowded or not. Nice area to roam a little. I plan to go back in hopes to see both falls flowing. One side was still thawing out from the winter ice. Hidden gem!

Shoshone Falls Park is quite beautiful and very well taken care of. If you're in the Twinfalls area definitely take the time to swing by and relax. It does cost $5 to get into the grounds and parkinglot, they take cash or card. There is a lot of parking but if it's a busy time of day I could see it filling fast and being a problem.

The overlook is pretty cool, you get a very open view of the falls. If you go to the viewpoint on the right hand side you can actually feel the mist from the falls.

On the uphill side there is lots of grass and picnic tables for families.

Shoshone Falls certainly presents a unique beauty that is worth witnessing. I recently took a trip there and found it fascinating, making it an excellent spot for an afternoon picnic. The falls are truly a natural wonder and provide a calming ambiance that is great for relaxation and reflection.

I was left feeling disappointed by the light show they had. It did not measure up to my expectations, and in my opinion, it did not add any significant value to the overall experience. Had it not been for being able to capture the northern lights, I would have felt that the drive up was not worth it.

Shoshone Falls is beautiful and a great place for a short get away.

Shoshone falls can be a magical experience but it depends on the time of year as the water flow varies throughout the year. It is known as the Niagara Falls of the West and if you are lucky enough to see it when the water flow is high it’s absolutely amazing. There is a nice lookout point and a gift shop and bathrooms. Can be busier on weekends and more peaceful during the week. Parking per vehicle is $5 and you can pay by cash or credit.

Shoshone Falls Park has beautiful views of the falls, numerous trails for hiking and walking, a sprawling picnic area, and a small lake nearby for swimming and exploring. We were thoroughly impressed, such a grand and magnificent natural landmark right here in Idaho. Too bad some old rich people decided to build ugly houses right on the falls tho 😅😅😅

Shoshone Falls Park in Idaho is breathtaking, and if you go at the right time when the sun is out, you can catch a rainbow hovering over the falls. Kayaking and paddle boarding are accessible from the shoreline, but we didn't have time to do so. This is a quick stop, but a wonderful photo opportunity with friends and family! The park has a cute little souvenir shop. Almost entirely dog friendly! 8/10

Shoshone Falls Park is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of Idaho, offering a breathtaking natural spectacle that will leave you in awe. This majestic waterfall rivals even the grandeur of Niagara Falls with its powerful cascade plunging into the Snake River Canyon. The park boasts well-maintained trails, scenic viewpoints, and picnic areas perfect for a family outing or a romantic escapade. The surrounding landscape is stunning, providing a picturesque backdrop for photography enthusiasts. Visitors can witness rainbows dancing in the mist and feel the cool spray on their faces. Shoshone Falls Park is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

Went back in May for a quick stop while on a road trip, and what a surprisingly marvelous experience it turned out to be!! The falls are truly unbelievably beautiful.

Lowest I've ever seen the water going over the falls. Gorgeous in a different way. Only one Porta-potty was available and there was a line from 3 large vans of people.

Jonathan Whitten 2023 Oct 03

Even though it was a dry when we came it was still stunning!

I've seen amazing falls from South America, Hawaii, and Niagara and Shoshone holds its own!

It's almost mind-boggling how this place just comes out of nowhere farm land. Nice town to stay in as well. We will come back when the falls are actually flowing but regardless it's a beautiful park! $5 entry fee is worth it.

Gorgeous rock formations and some very nice and easily accessible viewing platforms. The Snake River is very wide and looks so beautiful with its rich greenish color. Some of the rock formations are so white and look so pretty in contrast with the river. It is very relaxing to be there.

This park was so nice! So much shade, a nice little stream, some benches, and it's so big! There is a restroom and souvenirs and dogs are allowed on leash. There are walking paths and bike paths! So much fun! And the falls are gorgeous!!!

A complete surprise in the canyon. We stayed in Twin Falls, ID we were talking to some locals about how nice the town was and they made the suggestion to go see the twin falls at Shoshone Falls Park. The next morning before we left town we went and we were so glad that we did! This is a beautiful place and if you're in the area, I highly recommend to visit.
It was a five dollar per car entry fee, to drive into the canyon to go to the park, viewing area and lake entry and they have a pool there as well.
We had Jolie Fleur so I could walk her in the beautiful green grass with many trees for shade. There were tables for families. Parking was good but with the amount of people coming into park, they could use more spots. The viewing areas were very well done. We were both amazed with the cleanliness of the park. Note, the drive into the canyon is narrow & winding so be prepared, but it is doable.
What I have learned, take time to see the local beauty as you pass through a town or area. You'll be richer for it.

$5 gets you into both the lake and falls...beautiful scenery! Restrooms and even a gift shop at the falls. Not many stairs to get good views of the falls, but good views even without the stairs.

Beautiful views of the canyon/gorge, with the peaceful sound of rushing water over the falls.
