Fall Creek Falls

Fall Creek is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Idaho, located in Eastern Idaho, 45 minutes east of Idaho Falls. Above the Snake River, a cliffside is traversed by a 60-foot waterfall. As it tumbles to join the river, it makes beautiful natural ponds. The falls are beautifully framed by the entire Snake River habitat in this region of the state.

Swan Valley is close to Fall Creek Falls, often called Falls Creek Falls. Visitors to the area from Idaho Falls travel east on Highway 26 before turning right onto a dirt road and going across the Snake River Bridge. The parking pullout above the falls is poorly marked.

The Caribou-Targhee National Forest's border is where the observation area and the actual falls are located. Visitors should watch their steps because there are no platforms or safety measures at the viewing spots. Unmarked paths run to the base of the falls, which are difficult to climb back up due to their steepness.
