Stora Sjöfallet National Park – 40 m (130 ft); once one of the most powerful in Europe; however, after construction of the Suorva Dam, the flow rate decreased from an average of 160 m 3 /s to 6 m 3 /s; Storforsen – 35 m (115 ft) high, largest waterfall in Sweden by flow rate, average flow rate 250 m 3 /s, around 870 m 3 /s in summer.

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.
Perrine Bridge crosses the canyon immediately north of the city of Twin Falls; Hansen Bridge crosses the canyon to the east of Twin Falls. Shoshone Falls is located approximately 5 miles (8.0 kilometers) east of Perrine Bridge along the canyon. The canyon continues through Glenns Ferry and south of Boise, making it longer than 50 miles.
The paleo-climate of the Snake River Plain in southern Idaho, U.S., was much wetter and milder than today’s climate. During the Pliocene , the presence of a large lake provided habitat for fish. As the climate started to dry during the Pleistocene , vegetation similar to the present-day flora developed, although its geographical distribution ...
