Both spots are very accessible, though it can be a hassle driving back up the windy hill in the later afternoon when the sun hits eye level. The lake itself has a structured area for swimmers, and visitors can go kayaking and such in the deeper waters. It even has a diving board into the swimming area, though many kids and teens opt to go cliff jumping. I took the plunge from one of the cliffs and my adrenaline was pumping for quite awhile afterwards. Best to stick to cannonballs, though, and keep in consideration the water depth. The water is cool/cold, but not intolerable, and certainly nothing compared to larger bodies of water. We visited in early June, and I assume that the water warms up later in the summer. Would absolutely visit again if I'm ever back in Idaho.

If you're a nature enthusiast with a side of daredevil nostalgia, Snake River Canyon Rim Trails is…read morethe perfect blend of breathtaking views and a trip down memory lane. The trails offer a stunning panorama that's nothing short of awe-inspiring. The Snake River Canyon, with its majestic cliffs and winding waters, provides a backdrop that's almost too beautiful to be true. It's like nature's own masterpiece, and the trails allow you to soak it all in at your own pace. What makes this place truly unique is its hidden gem status. It's almost like the canyon is hiding in plain sight, waiting for you to discover its magic. Once you do, you'll wonder how it remained under the radar for so long. Now, for the icing on the cake - the Evel Knievel jump site and statue. For those of us old enough to remember when Evil Knievel was the sport-rock star of the 70s, this spot is a pilgrimage. Standing by the statue, you can almost feel the adrenaline of those iconic jumps. It's a nostalgic trip that adds a whole new dimension to the hiking experience. The ramp site is now on private property so we couldn't get close but you can still see the mound jutting towards the canyon! So, lace up those walking shoes, embrace the breathtaking views, and take a stroll down memory lane.

His parachute prematurely deployed as the Skycycle left the launching rail but winds caused him to drift into the canyon. At the bottom, he landed near the water. If he landed in the water, he probably would have drowned, due to a jumpsuit/harness malfunction the kept him strapped in the vehicle. Surprisingly, he survived the jump with minor injuries. At the city's visitors center, Knievel's supporters erected a monument to their hero with a carved likeness of the rocket motorcycle. It's engraved, "Robert 'Evel' Knievel: Explorer, Motorcyclist, and Daredevil. Attempted a mile-long leap of the Snake River Canyon on September 8, 1974 employing a unique Skycycle. The large dirt ramp is visible appox. 2 miles east of this point on the south ridge of the canyon. Donated to the community by Sunset Memorial." The mound of his jump is from the marker.

It spans across the Snake River Canyon connecting Twin Falls. Its 1500 ft long and 500 ft above the Snake River. Free parking, grass and benches to relax and people watch.

These jumpers are professionals, and pack their chutes near the Visitor Center. I actually got to witness a jumper, it was amazing to see. There is a company that you can hire to jump with you, I passed on that, Lol! Cool stop, don't miss it.

My thrill level maxes out running a blender without a lid on! Last month while traveling through Jerome, Idaho, we stopped in Twin falls to get a closer view of the beautiful Snake River and its surroundings. After parking in the Twin Falls visitor's center parking lot, I took some pics and videos. I managed to time things right and witnessed two daredevils base jump. (Building, antenna, span, earth.) Incredible! Apparently it is one of few places in the nation where it is legal to jump all year round. (Again, nope!) I'd love to return to explore the Shoshone Falls or Zip line at Centennial Waterfront Park but BASE jumping...........A HARD NOPE!
