Payette Lake in McCall, Idaho

Payette Lake in McCall, Idaho is a great destination to vacation any time of the year.

From fishing, boating, waterskiing, and shopping to Snow skiiing, racing snowmobiles across the frozen lake, ice fishing, snowshoeing, or just hanging out inside by the fireplace and watching the lake.

It was always one of my favorite destinations. I remember swimming there with my friends as a young teenager.

Loved watching the fireworks over the lake on the 4th of July.

Snowmobiling in the winter. We used to ride our snowmobiles over the mountain and go have pizza and beer at the restaurant in McCall.

Then there is the Snow sculptures at the Winter Carnival. Someday I would like to watch just how in the world they make these huge pieces of art!
