As early as 1900, locals called for the creation of a national park at Shoshone Falls, although this proposal was never approved by Congress.
In 1919 the Shoshone Falls Memorial Park Association proposed a memorial park at the falls for World War I veterans.
The association hired California landscape architect Florence Yoch to design a plan for the park.
However, these plans never materialized, in part due to the difficulties of obtaining the needed land from its previous owners.
Frederick and Martha Adams later bought the land from Senator Clark, and donated it to the City of Twin Falls in 1932.
The state of Idaho donated another tract of land in 1933 to add to the park.

Today, Shoshone Falls Park encompasses the south bank of the Snake River at the falls.
A $5 vehicle fee is posted from March 30 through September 30th .
The park includes an overlook, interpretive displays and a trail system along the south rim of the Snake River Canyon.
The trails provide access to nearby points of interest including Dierkes Lake and Evel Knievel's 1974 jump site.
About 250,000 to 300,000 vehicles enter the park each year.

In 2015 Idaho Power completed the Shoshone Falls Expansion Project, which involved reconstructing portions of the Shoshone Falls Dam to reduce its aesthetic impact on the area, and to direct low water releases to the most scenic part of the falls, the "Bridal Veil Falls" on the north bank of the river.
