Thankfully, there's no shortage of companies in Twin Falls that are dedicated to providing you with everything you could possibly need for this unique adventure. One of them is AWOL (A Way of Life) and they are a great option for both beginning and professional adventurers.
They offer both kayak and stand-up paddle board (SUP) rentals, so pick your poison. Each option offers a unique experience, but you can't go wrong with whichever one you pick. Once you've made your selection, you'll make your way to the starting point at Centennial Park.
From the park, you'll paddle along the Snake River until you reach the small but stunning Pillar Falls. You'll then have to carry your kayak or paddle board for a short ways before continuing upstream to Shoshone Falls.
You'll reach Shoshone Falls after approximately four miles. You can't miss it! With awe-inspiring cascades of water pouring down into the canyon below, it's a sight that you'll simply never forget. Paddle right up to the base and take your time soaking up the epic beauty.
Summertime is meant for adventures, so don't let it pass you by without making a few incredible adventures of your own. Paddling up to Shoshone Falls is a great place to start, so add this experience to your bucket list pronto!
