Fall Creek Falls is a beautiful waterfall in eastern Idaho near the Swan Valley community but hard to find. That’s because few signs point the way and literature about the falls usually isn’t specific about its location. But Fall Creek Falls is a is a spectacular waterfall. I say that because of the overall scenic beauty of the falls and its many features as well as the beauty of its location.
Fall Creek spills over rocks at the head of a cliff at an elevation of 5,338 feet. The water then drops some 60 feet into the Snake River while dividing into several paths separated by the rocky and broken face of a cliff. The falling water further subdivides and spills into pools and over ledges while making its way into the Snake River.
Fall Creek Falls is a hidden gem not easy to find. There are no signs pointing the way. The falls is across the Snake River from the community of Swan Valley. Swan Valley is located beside US Highway 26 in eastern Idaho’s Bonneville County. The small town of about 204 residents is east of Idaho Falls, ID, southwest of Victor, ID and west of Jackson , Wyoming . A short short drive of about 45 minutes from Jackson will take you there.
