Bonneville County Travel Guide

Idaho

Idaho Falls was created by a man-made diversion dam used for hydroelectric power. Before the dam was created, this was just a bunch of small rapids. Now, the Snake River makes a drop of about 20 ft. or so over a width of 1200 ft. There is a beautiful walkway along the river here, so one can stroll along the whole length of the falls. In the background is the Idaho Falls Idaho Temple. #LikeALocal #Golden
