McCall is a small resort community nestled on the shore of
beautiful Payette Lake and is known as one of Idaho's most
popular resorts. McCall was founded as a timber town and has
grown into a popular year round destination. Located 100
miles north of Boise, McCall is just a two-hour drive along
the Payette River Scenic Byway from its gateway city. McCall
is home to Brundage Mountain, Ponderosa State Park, the U.S.
Forest Service Smokejumper Base, and the annual
Winter Carnival. McCall offers something for everyone
throughout the year.
 McCall's
winter season generally starts in late November and runs
until mid April. Brundage Mountain Resort is a
favorite among skiers and snowboarders for it's friendly,
family atmosphere and incredible powder skiing.
Tamarack
Resort is just 20 miles south of McCall too, offering
luxury ski in/out lodging at
 American's
newest four season resort. The average annual snowfall
at the resort is 300 inches. At McCall's altitude of 5,000
feet, accumulation is typically less than 48 inches due to
repeated settling and thawing. Winter activities include
alpine and nordic skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling,
ice-skating, Lift-Served
Snow Tubing, or just sitting by a fire. Winter in
McCall also brings the Annual Winter Carnival, a tradition
since 1924.
The McCall area is characterized by mild summers influenced
by the mountains, lakes, altitude, and latitude. In the
summer months Payette Lake offers many activities including
swimming, boating, water skiing, and fishing. The McCall
area in general also offers bike riding, hiking, camping,
fishing, and golf.
In addition to the amazing summer and winter activities, any
time in McCall is a great time to visit the Central Idaho
Cultural Center, Valley County Museum, State Fish Hatchery,
the U.S. Forest Service Smokejumper base, or the beautiful
downtown area.
