Idaho Falls
|
The waterfalls are the focal point of Idaho Falls and are created by a diversion dam which provides hydroelectric power. The original dam was built in 1909 while today's dam was constructed as part of a $55.3 million hydroelectric power project in 1982. Before the dam was created, there were a series of rapids. Now, the Snake River makes a drop of about 20 ft. or so over a width of 1200 ft.
