The original dam was built in 1909; today's dam was constructed as part of a $55.3 million hydroelectric power project in 1982. The citizenry of Idaho Falls paid $48.0 million in taxes to fabricate the hydroelectric power plant. The U.S. Department of Energy in turn funded $7.3 million allowing for completion of the power plant. There are a total of three power plants that produce hydroelectric power for Idaho Falls, combined they produce fifty percent of the electricity needed.
Idaho Falls is a great hub for numberous outdoor activities. Within an hour's drive you could be fishing, hiking, skiing, hunting, or camping amongst abundant wildlife.
The South Fork of the Snake River acts as a refuge to many different species of animals...most notibly Bald Eagles. It is quite common to see five or six eagles during a days float on the river.
