Payette River Scenic Byway
Cascade, ID

Cascade offers the outdoorsman (or woman) year-round activities. For summer vacationing, visitors can cool off while fishing in Lake Cascade, one of Idaho's premier fishing holes. For more dynamic water adventures, Cascade's proximity to the Payette River and incomparable whitewater rafting draws visitors from all over. And because this hamlet is nestled amongst majestic mountains, backpackers and day-trippers will find plenty of hikes to keep them in cool elevations.

When the snow starts falling, winter-sports enthusiasts will take to the hills for over 800 miles of snowmobiling trails and 27 kilometers of Nordic ski trails. Or just find a cozy spot to relax by the fire and watch the snow fall from one of Cascade's comfy inns.
