Rotary Park

"At McCall, Hwy 55 (now known as 3rd St) makes a sharp right and becomes Lake St., which runs along the south edge of Payette Lake. McCall has built right up to the water’s edge, so we were very happy to discover Rotary Park, which provides free, off street parking with lake access, grassy places to sit, and a nice public restroom/changing room. There is also a swimming beach, (no lifeguard) picnic tables with BBQ’s, and a playground. Dogs on a leash are welcome. Rotary Park is small and can get crowded quickly. It ends at Lardo Bridge, where the Payette River dumps into Payette Lake, near the Fish Hatchery. McCall is a genuinely lovely town of less than 4,000 people, but it’s growing, due to the population shift from big cities to small towns. I really liked it there. The hours are 8AM-8PM."

"Beautiful park with great views of the Payette lake. Beach area for chillin & Docks for swimming. Further north of McCall. Come early or later in the day to avoid the line for the bathrooms though !"

"Breathtakingly ❤️ beautiful! Had breakfast on one of the 5 picnic tables right by the water. Nice beachfront, and the cleanest water I have seen in a long time:) Bathrooms were immaculate as well."

"Small park and to be fair it is still under snow even though it's 57 out here. This park has a very insightful sign and it's meaning is to be kind. The bathroom here are very clean and fancy for a park. The view is amazing and you can walk right up to the lake. It has a play ground and is a great place to stop and stretch your legs out after a long drive."
