Waterways

Bingham County has an excellent waterways program with 12 ramps accesses along the Snake River. One is located and maintained by the City of Firth. There are also a few private accesses along the Snake River.

A ramp is located at Sportman's Park in Aberdeen, which is part of the American Falls Reservoir. Watercraft can put in at Sportsman's Park and travel along the reservoir. The park is also an excellent spot for picnicking and family outings. Jensen Grove is a lake that is filled from the Snake River and excellent for the water enthusiast. There is a slalom course and a designated swimming area. Although this body of water is in the county, it is under the jurisdiction of the City of Blackfoot.

Maintenance and improvements of the waterways in Bingham County are supported through the registration of watercrafts. Individuals designated the area to which they want their monies to go. The State Parks and Recreation Department then forwards the monies to the counties. Grants through the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation area also used in the maintenance and improvement of ramps, docks and new ramp accesses. Future projects are to improve current ramps and make them handicap accessable, where feasible, and support the Marine Deputy Program for continued water safety and boating enforcement.
