Overlooking the rolling mountains of Idaho, Payette Lake encompasses 5,330 acres of sparkling glacial water. At an elevation of 5,000 feet, Payette Lake was originally carved out by a glacier over 10,000 years ago.

Half of the lake is protected as a part of the Ponderosa State Park, which leaves a large portion of the lake undisturbed by development.
