Lost River
When its water is not diverted
for upstream irriation, Lost
River flows past here into a
sink 14 miles to the Northeast.
Lava flows in the Snake River plains buried
old channels of Lost River, Little Lost River,
and Birch Creek. No longer able to reach the
Snake on the surface, they went underground.
After a 120 mile journey under the lava
plains, water from the Lost River eventually
emerges through numerous large springs
below Twin Falls, making up a small
part of the flow fo Thousand Springs
near Hagerman.
