Map of Shoshone Falls

Shoshone Falls, waterfall, southern Idaho, on the Snake River. After flowing through a long, deep canyon, the river makes a plunge of 65 m (212 ft) over a basaltic horseshoe rim 300 m (1,000 ft) wide. The height of the falls exceeds that of Niagara Falls. The volume of Shoshone has been reduced in recent years by irrigation projects upstream.
