Middle Fork Payette

The Boise National Forest offers an incredible variety of geography, fauna, foliage, and recreational activities. The Middle Fork Payette provides just about everything in one 15 mile package. Starting with the beautiful river and different levels due to snowmelt or late fall, you'll be amazed around every turn. This trail is a campers' paradise with room for hundreds of people to enjoy the outdoors, but never a feeling of being crowded. The sites will be appreciated by those who just want to unwind for a night or even a week or two. You'll also be able to fish for whitefish and trout, along with hunting big game in season, hiking, snowmobiling, and 4-wheeling. If you need even more, you have the hot springs to soak in around the 5-mile mark and also at the end of the trail.
