Are you planning a family vacation to McCall, Idaho? McCall is a wonderful place to gather as a family to enjoy and create priceless memories! Whether you are heading up for a long weekend or camping out for a couple weeks there is so much to see and enjoy! Here are the top ten things you must do during your stay in McCall! In our opinion that is! 😉

1. Ice Cream Alley

Located in downtown McCall Ice Cream Alley offers not only fabulous, generous-sized ice cream it gives a fun experience! This is a must do while in McCall!

2. Breakfast at Shore Lodge

Can you think of a better way to start your day than having a delicious breakfast right on beautiful Payette Lake? Nope, we didn’t think so! 😉

3. Manchester Ice Rink

No matter what the weather, family ice skating is fun for all ages! Be sure to call ahead to find out what times they are having open skate!

4. Make a Mosaic at 44 North or Paint at Mountain Monet

If you are feeling artsy we love going to 44 North to create beautiful mosaics or Mountain Monet to paint pottery! Both have options for all ages and experience levels! What fun to create an heirloom to take back home to remind you of your time in McCall!

5. Payette Lake Cruises

If you really want to see all the beauty McCall, Idaho has to offer we highly suggest taking the Payette Lake Cruise!  The owners are so friendly and may even let your kiddos drive the cruise boat for a pretty special photo op!

6. Brundage Mountain

Whether you want to go mountain biking, play disc golf or simply enjoy a chairlift ride to the top of the mountain,  Brundage offers so much to do in the summer and obviously winter too!

7. Explore in Ponderosa State Park

Ponderosa State Park is a great place to explore. You can find beach access, hiking trails (look our for huckleberries in late summer!), wildlife, scenic views and much more!

8. Go See a Movie at The Historic Roxy Movie Theatre In Cascade

If you are up for a about a 30 minute drive we suggest heading down to Cascade to see a movie at The Roxy, a historic theatre built in 1939. We love the charm that is has! Be sure to bring some cozy blankets to cuddle up in as it can get a little chilly!

9. McCall Farmer’s Market

Nothing makes our heart happier than visiting a small town farmers market! From fresh grown flowers from Southfork Flowers, fresh honey with a live hive to watch, gobs of yummy produce and smiling faces, the McCall Farmer’s Market can’t be missed!
