Lower Salmon Falls Park

Lower Salmon Falls Park offers free day-use access to the Snake River's Lower Salmon Falls Reservoir near Hagerman. The facility includes a boat ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats, along with parking and viewpoints overlooking the river and dam. Idaho Power manages this site and keeps it open year-round. To reach the access, take US Highway 93 south from Twin Falls toward Rogerson, then head west on Jarbidge/Three Creek Road for approximately 7.5 miles to the dam area; the boat ramp is located beyond the campground.

This section of the Snake River offers a scenic paddling opportunity in the Columbia Plateau region, with the Lower Salmon Falls Reservoir providing calmer waters ideal for recreational paddling and fishing. The area is also rich in natural and cultural history—paddlers can explore nearby Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument and access points related to the historic Oregon Trail. The site serves as a convenient launch point for both day trips and access to the river corridor between Lower and Upper Salmon Falls Dams.
