Payette Lake



We took a scenic drive up through the very touristy town of McCall which borders Payette Lake.  The lake is just a dammed up part of the Payette river but it is very pretty.  I guess its a big deal to have a lake home on this lake.  Half the lakeshore is part of the Payette National Forest and a lot of it is part of a state park so there isn't a lot of lakeshore that can be privately owned.

We headed north of McCall following the lakeshore.  It was a nice paved road with lots of rushing water from the Payette River running alongside the road.  That seems to be the story in the mountains everywhere in Idaho.  They had an unusual amount of snow last winter and its taking a long time for it all to melt.  We saw this road that was still closed because of the snowpack and its mid-June!
