SMALL TOWN CHARM

Ringed by mountains and forest, McCall exudes an unassuming, laid-back atmosphere that has won the hearts of vacationers and second-home owners for decades. Downtown McCall offers an ever-expanding array of shops, services and amenities, including great restaurants, an indoor ice skating rink, the Manchester Ice and Event Center and more. It also plays host to several community events each year, including the famous McCall Winter Carnival.

To explore McCall further and view upcoming events, visit the McCall Area Chamber of Commerce.

PAYETTE LAKE

Of the more than 300 lakes in the McCall area, Payette Lake is both the largest and best loved. This stunning lake sits right in the heart of downtown McCall.

PAYETTE LAKE

Carved by glaciers to a size of 5,330 acres, the lake is a playground for swimming, boating, water skiing, canoeing and sailing. The nearly 1000-acre peninsula that extends into the lake is Ponderosa State Park with facilities for camping, picnicking and miles of hiking trails. In winter, the park offers 14 miles of groomed Nordic skiing, including 1.5 miles that are lighted for night skiing.

SKI RESORTS

More than 300 inches of snow grace McCall’s ski slopes in a typical winter season, and we have three ways to enjoy it: Brundage Mountain, Tamarack, and the Little Ski Hill.

SKI AREAS

In McCall, you’ll also see far less crowds. And have two major ski resorts to choose from: Brundage Mountain and Tamarack Resort. Little Ski Hill is also an area favorite, and offers great opportunities for the entry-level skier.

Brundage Mountain
Since the 1960s, Brundage Mountain Resort has been a mecca for winter sports: 7,640 feet high, over 1,800 vertical feet of drop, 1,300 acres of lift-served terrain with some runs over two miles long! The resort also offers backcountry skiing via snow cat in the nearby Payette National forest, as well as instruction, rentals and great mountain biking in the summer.

Tamarack Resort
The $1.5 billion Tamarack opened in the winter of 2004. With a 7,700-foot summit that overlooks Lake Cascade, Tamarack offers a total vertical drop of 2,800 feet, seven aerial lifts and five surface lifts with 600 acres of groomed terrain and 1,100 acres of skiable terrain. Tamarack also offers an extensive network of mountain biking and hiking trails, and boating on Lake Cascade.

The Little Ski Hill
Built in 1937, the Little Ski Hill has one lift, a 405-foot vertical drop and 40 acres of skiable terrain. It also offers 50 kilometers of groomed skating lanes, touring trails, a biathlon range and night skiing on weekends.
