Twin Falls is on
US-30 (Lincoln Highway). (US-30 goes northwest and joins
US-20.)
The Facebook Reel below confirms that the road is just a single lane across the crest.
"The Salmon Falls Dam was built in 1910 to provide irrigation water for farms but now is an important recreation site. The BLM operates Lud Drexler Park just above the dam.Anglers will find their prayers answered here, with plenty of brown trout, chinook and kokanee salmon, yellow perch, black crappie, channel catfish, smallmouth bass, and walleye. This is the premier walleye fishery in Idaho, and trophy catches are common." There is also Class I and II floatable opportunities from mid-April to late June. [

"About 224 feet [68m] tall, with a width of 450 feet [137m], the dam creates a 15-mile long reservoir, holding at peak about 230,650 acre feet (0.28450 km3) of water in a long,very narrow gorge."
The dam is privately owned, and WC points out that the leaks look rather scary. |
I could not find a spillway for this dam.
