Natural Features

The Payette National Forest contains some of Idaho’s most beautiful and diverse country.

Nearby Attractions
While the Paddy Flat Guard Station is located within some of the most scenic forest areas of Idaho, you may find a desire to visit “civilization” during your visit. If you hanker for a pizza, hot lunch or subway sandwich, the town of Donnelly is just a bit of back-tracking away. While you are there, take some time to explore the historic town of Roseberry or take the ten mile drive to Gold Forks Hot Springs for a relaxing dip in their pools. While McCall is a bit further of a drive north, a walk through downtown is always a fun way to while away the afternoon. Spend some time on the waterfront, take in a local museum, visit Ponderosa State Park, or take a tour through the McCall Fish Hatchery.
