Wallowa Lake - JO Paddle’s Glass Bottom Kayak
The crystal clear water of Wallowa Lake provides a unique opportunity to explore the lake in a glass-bottom kayak. JO Paddle is a wonderful, family-owned business in Joseph, Oregon. The kayaks are clear plexiglass rather than glass, but the view is quite spectacular. The clear bottoms allow you to have a clear view below the surface without the choppy, wind-whipped surface getting in the way. It was a neat experience.
Canoeing the Upper North Fork of the Payette River
Took the family up the Payette River again. We rented canoes from Backwoods Adventures, which made things so much easier. From the nonmotorized boat launch, we slowly paddled up the river and enjoyed the perfect temperature, slight breeze, and meandering river. This time, we saw a pair of bald eagles and a trout swimming under our canoe.
We still explored, but we also went farther upriver than ever. The canoes made it super easy, and in no time, we had passed the bridge and were cruising further up the river.
This is one of our favorite locations in Idaho and one of our favorite activities while visiting McCall. It was a perfect day for it this time, too. I hope you enjoy sharing the adventure with us.
North Fork - Payette River
Took a trip up the north fork of the Payette River. It is a pleasant paddle on whatever non-motorized watercraft you prefer.
