WHAT’S THERE TO DO……IN McCALL #13

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

Snowshoeing!

One of my favorite forms of exercise this time of year is snowshoeing almost anywhere around McCall.  It’s one of those great sports….if you can walk you can participate.

If you love walking through the forest, snowshoeing in Ponderosa Park is for you!  The trails wind through huge ponderosa pine stands and around the beautiful frozen marshes.  Being home to elk, deer, bear, fox, coyote as well as many species of birds, there are ample chances to spot wildlife during an afternoon snowshoe tour.

Snowshoes available at River Ranch for owners and guests

River Ranch is a fabulous location if you love solitude, 360 degree views, listening to the babbling of the river, viewing wildlife or just some good old exercise!  With 2-1/2 miles of river available to our owners and their guests, there is plenty of river bank to travel along.  The 80 acres of conservation land accessible from the river, as well as from many of the homesites, is a great place to catch of glimpse of some of the resident wildlife.

There may be no better way to view your future home site than on snowshoes during a beautiful McCall, winter day!

KAYAKING THE RIVER RANCH PROPERTY

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

The snow is just about gone from the high country and the temperatures are warming.  This is the time when people begin to think about water sports which is a popular past time here in McCall.  River Ranch has lots of water on which to play – both still and flowing.  River Ranch owners can choose to kayak one of the community’s beautiful lakes or put their craft in the Payette River less than a half mile away from their home.  From there they can paddle to the first-of-four River Ranch Conservation parcels to hike and relax in the rock-and-hand-peeled-log fishing/picnic shelter before continuing on down the river to any one of a number of take-out points.  By prearrangement through the River Ranch Concierge, the watercraft and owners can be dropped off and picked up at the time of their choosing.

Watch a short video of kayakers playing on River Ranch’s Merganser Lake and paddling the Payette River which flows along 2.5 miles of the property.  Could you ask for a more perfect spring or summer afternoon outing?
