Soap Lake's mineral-rich waters have long been thought to have medicinal value. It is said that rival Indian tribes would call a truce when they came to Soap Lake to relax and heal themselves and their animals. The lake gets its name from the naturally occurring foam that gives its water a soapy appearance and because the lake's mineral-rich waters have a soapy feel. The Indian name for the lake tranlates to "witch doctor". Although the mineral content has declined over the years, most likely due to canal construction, it still has a very high and diverse mineral content. circa 1953.

At the turn of the last century, white sturgeon sometimes reached 20 feet in length and required horses to help haul them out of the river. In 1943, Idaho banned commercial white sturgeon fishing on the Snake River, and since 1970, sturgeon can only be caught on a catch-and-release basis, since the numbers have dramatically declined due to dams, pollution, irrigation withdrawals and heavy harvests. circa 1930.
