Residential Lakefront

The West "Warren Wagon" Side

The west "Warren Wagon" side of Payette Lake features spectacular lakefront views looking out over the largest section of the lake and east to the Salmon River Mountains and the town of McCall. The west side also offers across the street "lake to trail" access into the national forest.

Nestled in the woods, homes located off the Warren Wagon corridor.

The "Gold Coast"

The south "Gold Coast" end of the lake boasts "in-town" locations close to the action and within walking or biking distance to restaurants, shopping, marinas and quick access to Ponderosa and Legacy Park. Many of the first homes built on Payette Lake line the south end shores.

Pilgrim Cove

"Pilgrim Cove" on the east side of Payette Lake is a beautiful densely wooded area of the lake with more remote and private settings. It is quieter in the summer with less boat traffic and provides quick access to the Crest Line Trail and Lick Creek for backcountry adventure.

North Beach

The north "North Beach" end of the lake is a popular destination to beach your boat up on the sand, bring your cooler, and hang out! Forest Service land surrounds the north end of the lake. Kayaks and canoes are abundant as the mouth of the North Fork of the Payette River enters the lake there, and is the take-off spot for rowers paddling the pristine river scenery.
