The land on which Ponderosa State Park sits may be some of the most coveted and beautiful in Idaho. Sitting on the 2.5 mile long peninsula on gorgeous Lake Payette, there are several miles of trails for hiking and biking in the summer, as well as for nordic skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. Driving to the end of the peninsula, we were treated to some wonderful panoramic views of the lake and McCall, Idaho from the 300-foot tall basalt cliffs. While there, we also took a brief hike around part of a lily marsh, but considering how warm it got, we couldn't endure much more than 1/2 mile.
