Lower Mesa Falls drops 65 ft (20 m) as a cascade waterfall in Idaho.
Its water comes from Henrys Fork (Snake River). You'll find it in Fremont, Idaho. It is protected within Caribou-Targhee National Forest (USFS).
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.1 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Ashton, the closest town.
When to go: Spring snowmelt (May-Jun). Like most waterfalls, Lower Mesa Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
