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!

- We drove through Mccall on a spring day some years ago and stopped for a while. The lake was still frozen over and looked very beautiful, and snow was still on the ground. . We loved the sculpture of the bears and have a super `photo of them to remind us of Mccall. Wish we could have stopped longer.
