As summer continues on, the water level continues to drop at the American Falls Reservoir. The original townsite on the east side of the reservoir, near the grain tower, is slowly starting to emerge as the water levels drop.
The foundations of some buildings and structures are visible, however, some are not yet visible. As some are not visible, it does create a potential boating hazard. Please use caution while operating vessels on the east side of the reservoir especially near the grain tower and original townsite.
As seen in previous years, when the water level drops, it does create a challenge when launching boats and personal watercraft from the dock on the west side of the reservoir. Please use caution and please exercise patience when launching and loading vessels as the water level continues to drop.
We hope everyone continues to enjoy the reservoir and has a safe and enjoyable summer. Whether it’s on the beach or the water or any other type of outdoor adventure, stay safe and hydrated!
