Twin Falls Search and Rescue Help with Body Recovery at the Drops

The Drops are located in Shoshone, Idaho and the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue posted on social media about the body recovery and the dangers of swimming in the swift waters of the canal at the Little Drops Recreation Area:

The Drops have been known as a place for locals to have fun, but that doesn’t mean the area is safe. In fact, the area is deadly and it's illegal to enter the canal water. We’ve written about the Drops before and received many messages from readers about the dangers of the area. The Drops are part of the Milner Gooding Canal and the area at the end of the Drops, is called the Little Drops Recreation Area. But it is NOT a place to play in the water.
