Ponderosa State Park is simply gorgeous! I photographed an engagement session there in February 2020 and it was so pretty. We managed to get down to the frozen lake, but be wary that the snow is super deep, pretty much everywhere! There was lots of falling into the snow, so as long as you're good with that, then it was awesome. We also snowshoed around the trails back in the fee area. That was really nice and there were various paths we could take or just off road! Nice place for fun winter activities and pictures!

We came hike in Mt. baked! We did the loop trail and it was fantastic! Lots of roots so some suspensions helpful on your bike! The trail was smooth and fun to ride! Tall trees in gorgeous colors! Biking next to the lake with the incredible experience! We cut around to the other trails a bit and rode some of the paved path on the way back for fun! Very few people felt like we had the place to our cells, but we were there doing the off-season in mid September.It was smoky but the lake seem to help blow the smoke away a little, but it’s probably just what I think :-) this place is too gorgeous that it just pushes anything negative away :-) I highly suggest taking a bike ride out here while you’re in town!
I came here last week to snoeshow with some family. Ponderosa is one of my favorite places in McCall to hang out at, especially in the winter. Super close to downtown, it's easy to reach even when road conditions are less than ideal. The grooved paths make it easy for cross country skiing and snowshoeing. It's an absolutely beautiful view the entire way. Northern Lights (1.0 mile) and Easy Does It (2.3 miles) trails are very easily accessible and you're treated with a gorgeous overlook of Payette Lake. Take the Through the Woods (0.6 miles) trail for astounding 360 views of towering Ponderosa pines being weighed down by piles of fresh snow. This trail is great for pictures! If you're really in the mood for a workout and have the time, energy and stamina, take the trek to Osprey Cliff Overlook and you'll be rewarded with views unlike many others in the area. But trust me, you gotta be up for it, as this hike is nearly 7.5 miles round trip which can be difficult in snowshoes. My one complaint is lack of dog friendly trials. There is one! Rover Round-A-Bout is a 1.0 mile loop that sees extensive use due to this feature. There's not much to see, but it's what you gotta utilize if you want to bring Fido along. I understand the choice of prohibiting dogs is largely due to the destruction of cross country skiing paths, but it would be nice to have at least 2 dog friendly options so you don't have to be stuck with the one.
Super clean and very beautiful. Lots of trails for hiking and Mountain biking. Swimming, relaxing, viewing, camping in abundance. Take your family, pets and friends. Nature is everywhere, absolutely loved it and plan on going back as as possible!!
Fun for the entire family. The campsites are clean and well maintained. Power outlets, water, and fire rings at each site. The lake close by is unbeatable and the hiking is fun. There are great trails for bikes too. Just be sure to book in advance!
