Enjoy Payette Lake's tranquil waters the way they're meant to be enjoyed when you spend an evening with McCall Lake Cruises. This local company offers a variety of cruises on a seasonal basis, but the scenic sunset cruise in the summer is especially worth checking out.
McCall Lake Cruises operates The Idaho, a 65-foot-long, U.S. Coast Guard-certified boat that can carry up to 85 passengers. Equipped with a full beverage/snack bar, restrooms, heat-enclosed area, and plenty of space to enjoy the view, she has everything you need for a memorable time on the lake.
During the summer (May through September), The Idaho sets off on a 90-minute scenic cruise Wednesday through Sunday at 2:00 p.m. This scenic cruise is especially great for families as it incorporates local history and various points of interest around the lake.
However, if you'd like something a little more relaxing and romantic, you'll definitely want to go with the 2-hour sunset cruise instead! This scenic cruise allows you to see Payette Lake at its absolute best—illuminated by the glowing shades of a vibrant Idaho sunset.
The sunset cruise is offered on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays through September. On Thursday evenings guests can even have the added treat of live piano music. As always, the boat's cabin will be heated for your comfort and the bar will be stocked with beverages of both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic variety.
Both cruises are $30 for adults, $20 for kids, and $5 for children under 3. Tickets can be purchased online, by phone, or at their office. More information regarding the cruise options and reservations can be found on their website.
Experience beautiful and pristine Payette Lake in the best way possible with a scenic sunset cruise. From the cruise amenities to the breathtaking scenery, your evening aboard The Idaho will be something to remember.
