Plans Announced to Reopen Shoshone Falls Access in Twin Falls, ID

When the plans were approved and preparations began on the road improvements, the City of Twin Falls had an indefinite timeline.

The road to Dierkes Lake and the Shoshone Falls was filled with potholes and too narrow for some vehicles in some of the curves. The announcement on social media by the Twin Falls City Hall said the upgrades will ‘reconstruct the scarier sections of the roadway and adjacent rock wall’.
