Shoshone Falls high flow of about 20,000 cubic feet per second (570 m 3 /s) in June 2011.

There were originally two parallel falls, but the dam permanently diverted the flow ...
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) divides the Snake River into two freshwater ecoregions – the Upper Snake and Columbia Unglaciated – with Shoshone Falls marking the boundary between the two. Shoshone Falls has presented a total barrier to the upstream movement of fish at least since the Bonneville flood 15,000 years ago.
