History

The spectacular scenery and recreational activities provided by Payette Lake and the McCall area have long been a favorite of residents throughout Western Idaho. Following World War II, a group of businessmen and doctors from Lewiston, Idaho turned their sights to developing the lake for tourists. At its heart would be the iconic Shore Lodge, which opened on July 3, 1948. Designed as a cozy, family-friendly resort for locals and tourists alike, the lodge has grown and added many amenities over the years, but has remained true to its design as a comfortable, friendly mountain retreat.
