American Falls

As the largest dam along the Snake River, the dam holds a reserve of 1,700,000 acre-feet of water creating a shore line 125 miles long and covering an area of 65,000 acres of land crossing into three counties—Power, Bingham, and Bannock.

Today, people enjoy bird watching, fishing, hunting, and boating on the reservoir and the river below the dam.
