Ninety minutes north of Boise is a serene land of forests and lakes which offers white water, mountain adventure and some of the best fishing in Idaho. The Payette River flows through southwestern Idaho, creating three lakes (one is the Cascade Reservoir) in a sterling vacation region.

Cascade Lake is at the center of an outdoor recreation area which includes secluded Warm Lake -- 25 miles east of Cascade off Highway 55 which has several resorts with rustic cabins, lodges, and campgrounds.

The town of Cascade, on Highway 55, is a fishing center with boat and shore fishing for rainbow, cutthroat, brown, coho and perch. During the winter, the Cascade area has over 600 miles of snowmobile trails and many additional miles of cross-country trails in the Boise National Forest. During summer months, the trails are open to hikers. Cascade features golfing-by-the-lake and private RV parks, as well as forest campgrounds. North of Cascade are Payette Lake and Little Payette Lake.
