[ Physical Makeup ]  [ Pictures ]  [ Maps ]  [ Update History ]

American Falls was largely modified and damaged by the construction of the American Falls Dam, but when the Snake River is running at peak levels, the water emerging from the dam's spillway still descends over part of the natural falls, which is (or was) a drop of about 25-30 feet.
