About

Falls Campground occupies a scenic riverside setting along the Snake River in Swan Valley at 5,100 feet elevation. Cottonwood trees provide partial shade throughout the campground, with grassy meadows and summer wildflowers dotting the landscape. The main attraction is Fall Creek Falls, a striking 60-foot cascade that drops over a travertine outcropping on the river's edge, visible from portions of the campground and accessible via a short walk. The Snake River here offers excellent cutthroat trout fishing along with opportunities for canoeing, floating, rafting, and kayaking. Conant Boat Ramp is nearby and open to the public. Wildlife viewing is exceptional in the river bottom, with frequent sightings of eagles, osprey, moose, and deer. Palisades Reservoir is less than 20 miles away, providing additional opportunities for boating, water skiing, and swimming. The Fall Creek area features numerous trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and ATV use.

Directions

From Idaho Falls, travel 45 miles east on Highway 26. Turn off right before the Snake River Bridge and continue 3.5 miles on a gravel road to the campground.
