About This Waterfall
Sand Springs Falls used to be the tallest and potentially most powerful of the waterfalls within the Thousand Springs formation along the Hagerman Plateau, but as the waters from Sand Springs Creek have been diverted entirely into the Thousand Springs Hydroelectric system, the falls are now dry and will likely remain so until and unless major maintenance needs to be performed on the dam and / or pipe which diverts the creek.
