Wonderful place to visit but the best time to visit is feb. March and April when there is more water running down the river

We were covered in TICKS after a short hike! Be careful. Cool spot with good views of the canyon. Small picnic/park area. Would consider it more of a rest stop.

I can’t say I’ve seen a lot of gorges in my life, but this one has to rank up there with the best of em. The view is absolutely amazing. You can even walk right to the edge and look straight down. It’s a little terrifying, especially on a day as windy as today was. Also, why is the water so pretty down at the bottom? It’s this greenish/blue and it’s unreal. After you see the gorge make sure you hop in the car and take the road down to see Woodys Cove. It was so windy, it was kicking up the water from the falls and it looked so rad. As far as gorges go I don’t think you could ask for anything better.

I was traveling to Pocatello and saw this beauty from the road and immediately had to stop! Took my drone out and captured some amazing pictures of what I feel is a mini Grand Canyon, definitely worth the stop!

Questions & Answers

If your doing a day trip what falls are the coolest to see?

James C. | Apr 29, 2018

Its a small park. U can park in 1 place and walk the rest of the park but u can drive and pull up to many of the stops and just walk up a 100 feet or so to the marked sites. Its interesting park but a bigger version of the the gorge would be the perrine bridge which I thought was way cooler. I didn't see a falls that I can say, wow!

Are pets allowed in the park and can you enter the park in a bicycle?

Arnulfo Alcala | Jun 2, 2021
Debbie Bergh | Jun 3, 2021

Yes to both, however, you will have to pay the entrance fee. Our parks passes are affixed to our vehicles not our bikes. I believe the price is 5 Dollar.

Is all of the stops open to driving? June 9, 2019

Yes, all picnic sites and trailheads are accessible via car. If you want to see any of the other natural sites, however, you will need to use the hiking trails. Also, we can see the timestamp on your question. Adding the date is unnecessary, albeit appreciated.

Why is some of the water in some of the falls green?

Dee Mulverhill | Apr 29, 2019
Prabhanjana P | Apr 30, 2019

Water is clear. The mosses growing on the rocks make the water look green. Not sure if alge trives in underground water.

Do you have private hot tubs, and do you have room for a 40 ft motorhome Oct 31st for one night?

Hello Patty, we do not have hot tubs or a campground at this time. We started construction on the campground last week but it won't be done until next year sometime. However, there are several RV spaces available in Hagerman and there are two hot springs just outside of town (Miracle and Banbury Hot Springs).

Is the water of the water falls at Thousands Springs canyon wall hot or cold?

Mark Surby | Apr 29, 2020

The part that Toni mentioned is just the first stop of 8. I would say 60 to 90 minutes to drive through the park and see all of the stops.
