Earl M. Hardy Box Canyon Springs Nature Preserve, located just west of Twin Falls, is a captivating natural wonder within Thousand Springs State Park. This hidden gem offers visitors the opportunity to witness the breathtaking sight of the nation's 11th largest spring, surrounded by stunning blue waters and picturesque landscapes. Hiking trails lead to a magnificent 20-foot waterfall, adding to the allure of this unique canyon.
The spring water originates from the Snake River Plain Aquifer, flowing through the basalt rock to create a pure and pristine water source. With a flow rate of 180,000 gallons per minute, Box Canyon Springs is a remarkable natural phenomenon that showcases the beauty and power of nature. As the water makes its way towards the Snake River, it passes through a diversion pond and is used for various purposes, including a fish hatchery on the river's far bank.
