The area and getting around
McCall is a gateway to the pleasures of Payette Lake and the ecstasies of the surrounding mountains. If you vouch for the glacial waters, others differ by scaling the mountains; the city is a beehive of activities! Hit the trails through the forest to the mountains for a birds-eye view of the lake and the town or grab a mountain bike and pedal your way around the numerous biking trails. You'll love the Payette Rim Loop! Payette Lake, Little Payette Lake, and the Payette River offer too much water sports than any enthusiast can handle. If tired of the outdoors, savor the art and culture here; the Central Idaho Historical Museum is a must-visit.
Lakeside and Alpine nature and wildlifeWhat would you do with 1000 acres of natural wilderness? Ponderosa State Park lavishes you with these! You'll be lucky to spot a black bear, a deer, an elk, or paddle past a moose by the waterfront along the park. If you exhaust the park, you will not exhaust the over 2 million acres of heavy forests that the Payette National Forest offers you. McCall is the gateway to Idaho's unspoiled nature. Do you love birding? Rent a birdwatching kit from the McCall Public Library, hit the Idaho Birding Trail for spectacular views of the more than 400 species of birds to be introduced to you.
