McCall: Idaho’s best kept secret


McCall is destination all year round that is mainly favored by the local population to touch the slopes, to relax in nature, or simply escape from the headache of the new fame of Boise.
This city of around 4,000 inhabitants is not on the radars of many travelers outside the locals, but it’s time to change that.
Like many charming small city outings, McCall is also deeply rooted in the gold rush, after he had endured the test of time to become the rustic harbor on the lake that it is today.
Although anchored by 3rd Avenue’s row Down-home ates, local brews and old-fashioned inns, the real draw of McCall is the Ancient Glacial Payette LakeA beautiful postcard -worthy vastness of lively blue water with depths of almost 400 feet and over 5,000 hectares.


Ponderosa State Park is a must
To enjoy both the tension and the calmness of Payette Lake, Ponderosa State Park Must surpass your list.
There are small, yet quiet beaches to relax on the coasts or you can opt for more aquatic adventure by renting a padleboard or kayak, and trout fishing and sailing offer endless ways to enjoy the beauty of the lake – or trek inland through the winding paths through lush forestry around the lake.

McCall’s best residence
