Caving Tours ...and much more! Parks and Recreation The benefits are endless... On behalf of the City Council, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the City of Twin Falls. Spring is definitely here and summer will soon follow. Living in Idaho most of my life, snow does not bother me; I know that warmer weather is the reward for getting through the cold season. Working as a D.A.R.E. Officer and a school resource officer for the City of Twin Falls, and as the former executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of Magic Valley, I know the importance of children participating in recreation programs and enjoying the many parks that Twin Falls has to offer. Essential to my vision as Mayor, is a healthy and active community. For those of you who enjoy competitive sports, the City of Twin Falls Parks and Recreation manages many adult and youth recreation programs, such as; volleyball, basketball, flag football, and softball, as well as a variety of other leisure activities. If you’re not seeking competitive play, I encourage you to learn all you can about the importance of diet and exercise and visit one of our world-class parks. Trail systems throughout the city provide ample opportunities for walking, bicycling, jogging, or just relaxing. The leadership of Twin Falls believes that recreation is essential to our quality of life. We invite you to join us today and begin seeing the endless opportunities we have to offer.

  • Twin Falls Visitor Center
    SOUTH CENTRAL IDAHO A PERFECT LOCATION FOR THE ADVENTURINGADVENTURING SPIRIT | OFFICIAL IDAHO STATE TRAVEL GUIDE TRAVEL | OFFICIAL STATE IDAHO 54 Snake River Early settlers found the Snake River Plain a bit too dry for their taste, so they set about building a dam and irrigation canals along the Snake River. These structures so dramatically changed the landscape—turning arid, cracked soil into fertile agricultural fields—that the area became known as the “Magic Valley.” Everywhere you look, you’ll see evidence of the earth’s forces at work: deep canyons, high bluffs, unusual rock formations, and even lava flows. Sure, this area is a geologist’s dream, but its terrain also delivers big fun for the adventurer in you. The Snake River is at the heart of the valley’s recreation, inviting you to swim, raft, speedboat, and paddle its waters, and BASE jump and zip-line into its stunning canyon. The river’s reservoirs are pristine destinations for camping, hunting, and fishing—and are home to an abundance of big game and other wildlife. Throughout the region, see springs surge from within cliff walls and thundering waterfalls crash and churn into canyons. Wander through lava tubes, discover world-famous fossil beds, and eat homemade ice cream. Take a relaxing drive through Hagerman’s peaceful country- side and make your way to City of Rocks National Reserve, where granite columns and spires stand guard over a 500-acre windswept valley. Follow Visit Idaho on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and other social media channels.

Though unsuccessful, it was watched by more people that year than the Super bowl and solidified Knievel’s place in history as ‘King of the Daredevils’. It’s been nearly 40 years and the time has come to Return to Snake River… In an undisclosed location in Twin Falls, a new ‘X-2 Skycycle’ is being built by the son of the engineer who built Knievel’s original rocket as well as his team of engineers and fabricators.

  • State of Idaho Oversight Monitor: Our Changing Aquifer
    INL Oversight is a state agency that monitors activities at the INLThe onEastern behalf of theSnake citizens River of Idaho.Plain Aquifer March 2006 On the volcanically unique Eastern Snake River Plain, just like elsewhere, water flows from high country to low, channeled into streams, lakes, and rivers. But in the portion of the plain occupied by the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), rivers don’t all flow to the ocean. Instead, something dramatically different happens. Streams like the Big and Little Lost Rivers simply disappear. Here, where sediments deposited by the actions of wind and water overlay porous layers of basalt, rivers and streams disappear, losing their water to the Eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer. Decades later, the same water will reappear in the Magic Valley, issuing from the “Thousand Springs” stretch of the Snake River along the north canyon wall between Milner and King Hill. The Lost River and the fascinating springs of the Magic Valley are but two features of the remarkable Eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer, which is not only the focus of this issue of the Oversight Monitor, but the primary reason that the INL Oversight Program exists. Concern about how activities conducted at Idaho’s nuclear laboratory affect the aquifer was the driving force behind the formation of a state oversight program. No matter what issue we’re considering, we’re thinking about the aquifer—when we’re talking about building a nuclear reactor at the site, removing waste buried in pits and trenches, closing buildings that aren’t needed any more—whatever it is, to Oversight, it is about Idaho’s precious resource, the Eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer.

  • Jerome County Comprehensive Plan I 2018
    JEROME COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN I 2018 Chapter 8 TRANSPORTATION While transportation in the County includes railways and an airport, the predominant form of transportation for the citizens of Jerome County is the automobile. Transportation Agencies Jerome County has three entities maintaining all public roads. The Jerome Highway District (JHD) maintains the western part of Jerome County, Hillsdale Highway District (HHD) maintains the eastern part of Jerome County, and Idaho Transportation Department provides maintenance on all state and federal highways. Generally, the cities maintain roads that are within their corporate boundaries with some crossover from other transportation agencies. All other roads within Jerome County are considered to be private until one of the districts accepts them for maintenance. The map identifying each district’s jurisdiction is located in Appendix B: 8-1. Highway districts are bodies corporate. Every highway district organized, as provided by law, is a body politic and corporate. As such, it has the power specified in Idaho Code, including the power of eminent domain and powers as necessarily implied from those expressed. The power of a highway district lies within the highway commissioners or by agents and officers acting under their authority or authority of law. The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is the state of Idaho governmental organization responsible for state transportation infrastructure. This includes ongoing operations and maintenance as well as planning for future needs of the state and its citizens. The agency is responsible for overseeing the disbursement of federal, state, and grant funding for the transportation programs of the state. ITD also maintains a Division of Aeronautics and interfaces with railroads and utilities.
