Just north of Gooding, portions of County Road 1700 South, 1800 East, and 1950 East were inundated with water and damaged. A few homes and businesses near the river were surrounded by water. Lowland flooding and damage to county roads occurred in the county well downstream from Gooding. |
| May 2017 | Flood | Gooding | $100,000 | Rapid snowmelt in the high elevations of the Big Wood Basin sent high flows over the spillway of Magic Reservoir causing flooding downstream in Gooding County.
